Loss of sugar detection by GLUT2 affects glucose homeostasis in mice.
<h4>Background</h4>Mammals must sense the amount of sugar available to them and respond appropriately. For many years attention has focused on intracellular glucose sensing derived from glucose metabolism. Here, we studied the detection of extracellular glucose concentrations in vivo by...

<h4>Background</h4>Mammals must sense the amount of sugar available to them and respond appropriately.
