Hydrogen peroxide stimulates glucose uptake in myotube cells via the insulin signaling pathway

Recent studies suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may exert beneficial effects on health. Therefore this study evaluated the effects of H2O2 and gamma-tocotrienol (GTT), an antioxidant, on D-[2-3H]Glucose uptake by myotubes compared to insulin. Results showed...
