| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Insulin resistance, which means the failure to take up blood glucose by insulin, is one of the fundamental mechanisms behind lifestyle-related diseases that are increasing worldwide, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. At present, several drugs are the first treatments for insulin resistance in the clinic, but none of them have been able to improve the prognosis for all patients. Therefore, in this study, we developed a fluorescent probe that can observe the uptake of sugars into living cells and tissues. We are currently applying for the technology as a patent in Japan.
