Abstract
Excessive hepatic glucose production is thought to be a major contributor to the type 2 diabetic state. Drug discovery efforts have yielded small synthetic inhibitors for gluconeogenic and glycogenic regulators of this pathway. The most advanced targets are outlined in this mini-review and include: the glucocorticoid receptor, 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, the glucagon receptor, glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen synthase kinase-3, and glucose-6-phosphatase.
Keywords: glucocorticoid receptor, f16bpase, glycogen phosphorylase, glucagon receptor, gsk-3, g6pase
