Associate Professor Rasmus Kjøbsted’s research on the TBC1D4 protein offers an answer – 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 2 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬. Through studies spanning mice and humans, Rasmus Kjøbsted discovered how exercise enhances muscle glucose uptake, even in populations carrying a genetic mutation that increases diabetes risk. 🐁 👨👩👧👦 Speaking about his research, Kjøbsted shares: “𝘞𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯'𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘨𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘛𝘉𝘊1𝘋4, 𝘢 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘴.” His work, recently published in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮, dives deep into the challenges faced by a unique subgroup of Greenlandic Inuit who lack TBC1D4. With advanced techniques and teamwork across Denmark and Greenland, the findings highlight the power of physical activity in managing blood sugar levels.
