α-Pinene, a Main Component of <i>Pinus</i> Essential Oils, Enhances the Expression of Insulin-Sensitive Glucose Transporter Type 4 in Murine Skeletal Muscle Cells

α-Pinene, a Main Component of <i>Pinus</i> Essential Oils, Enhances the Expression of Insulin-Sensitive Glucose Transporter Type 4 in Murine Skeletal Muscle Cells

Glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) represents the major glucose transporter isoform responsible for glucose uptake into insulin-sensitive cells, primarily in skeletal muscle and adipose tissues. In insulin-resistant conditions, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, GLUT4 expression and/or translocation to th...
