| 1 | Interleukin-6 directly increases glucose metabolism in resting human skeletal muscle. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Thus, IL-6 has also been suggested to promote insulin-mediated glucose utilization. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | In this study, we determined the direct effects of IL-6 on glucose transport and signal transduction in human skeletal muscle. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | We found that IL-6 increased glucose transport in human skeletal muscle 1.3-fold (P < 0.05). | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | IL-6 also increased skeletal muscle glucose incorporation into glycogen, as well as glucose oxidation (1.5- and 1.3-fold, respectively; P < 0.05). | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
| 6 | In conclusion, acute IL-6 exposure increases glucose metabolism in resting human skeletal muscle. | Glucose | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
