The Appearance of a Leptin Effect on Glucose Absorption in Caco2 Cells Depends on Their Differentiation Level

Backdround/Aims: The aim of this work was to study the effect and mechanism of action of leptin added apically, on glucose absorption, using Caco-2 cells as a model. Methods: Cells were grown on inserts and treated with leptin, at different time points after confluence. Radiolabelled glucose was add...
