Muscle Glucose Transporters (GLUTs) play an essential role in glucose
homeostasis, particularly in skeletal muscles, which are major sites
for glucose uptake and utilization. These transporters are proteins that
facilitate glucose movement across cell membranes, enabling muscles
to use glucose for energy production. This article provides an overview of
muscle glucose transporters, their types, regulation mechanisms, roles in
metabolic health, and their significance in conditions like insulin resistance
and diabetes.
