Intervention of hepatic glucose production. Small molecule regulators of potential _targets for Type 2 diabetes therapy

Tjeerd Barf. Mini Rev Med Chem. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

Excessive hepatic glucose production is thought to be a major contributor to the type 2 diabetic state. Drug discovery efforts have yielded small synthetic inhibitors for gluconeogenic and glycogenic regulators of this pathway. The most advanced _targets are outlined in this mini-review and include: the glucocorticoid receptor, 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, the glucagon receptor, glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen synthase kinase-3, and glucose-6-phosphatase.
