Glucose 33-40 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 0-13 17363741-4 2007 Thus, IL-6 has also been suggested to promote insulin-mediated glucose utilization. Glucose 63-70 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 6-10 17363741-5 2007 In this study, we determined the direct effects of IL-6 on glucose transport and signal transduction in human skeletal muscle. Glucose 59-66 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 51-55 17363741-8 2007 We found that IL-6 increased glucose transport in human skeletal muscle 1.3-fold (P < 0.05). Glucose 29-36 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 14-18 17363741-10 2007 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 36-43 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 0-4 17363741-13 2007 In conclusion, acute IL-6 exposure increases glucose metabolism in resting human skeletal muscle. Glucose 45-52 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 21-25
