Validation experiment designed to validate causal mechanisms targeting Aspscr1/TUG in muscle-specific Tug knockout mice. Primary outcome: glucose uptake and energy expenditure
Generation and analysis of mice with muscle-specific knockout of the Tug gene (Aspscr1) to study the role of TUG proteins in glucose uptake and energy expenditure. The study examined how loss of TUG function affects insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in muscle tissue and organism-level metabolic processes. Researchers analyzed glucose uptake, energy expenditure, gene expression patterns, and metabolic parameters in these knockout mice compared to controls.
