Method for modulating insulin-independent glucose transport using teneurin C-terminal associated peptide (TCAP)

摘要

This invention relates to a method of increasing energy available to skeletal muscle cells comprising administering to the cells an effective amount of Tenurin C-terminal Associated Peptide (TCAP). The invention provides the use of TCAP to enhance muscle performance or recovery after injury as well as to prevent and/or treat a number of conditions including insulin resistance, type II diabetes, hypoxia and glycogen storage diseases.
