Insulin-Stimulated Myocardial Glucose Uptake and the Relation to Perfusion and the Nitric Oxide System

2004 Jan-FebThe study shows that in the heart, insulin helps cells take in sugar even when blood flow doesn’t increase, and even when blood flow goes down. This means sugar uptake and blood flow can be controlled separately.
