Sentence examples for nutrient sensor from inspiring English sources

Nutrient sensor links obesity with diabetes risk.

Lagerlof, O. et al. The nutrient sensor OGT in PVN neurons regulates feeding.

Figure 6: The nutrient sensor AAK-2/AMPK regulates FLP-7 release from ASI neurons.

Ravindran, R. et al. Vaccine activation of the nutrient sensor GCN2 in dendritic cells enhances antigen presentation.

Researchers have identified a key nutrient sensor in the mTOR pathway that links nutrient availability to cell growth.

AMPK is an ancient nutrient sensor that is activated by low cellular energy states (increased AMP ATP ratio) and by hormones40.

The ligand is secreted in proportion to 5-HT circuit functions and the activity of the nutrient sensor AMPK, in the secretory neurons.

The nutrient sensor AAK-2/AMPK acts in the ASI neurons via the CREB co-regulator CRTC-1 to regulate FLP-7 release in response to 5-HT-encoded signals of food availability.

FLP-7 is secreted as a neuroendocrine peptide in proportion to fluctuations in neural serotonin circuit functions, and its release is regulated from secretory neurons via the nutrient sensor AMPK.
