Animal and human tissue Na,K-ATPase in normal and insulin-resistant states: regulation, behaviour and interpretative hypothesis on NEFA effects

Summary The sodium(Na)‐ and potassium(K)‐activated adenosine‐triphosphatase (Na,K‐ATPase) is a membrane enzyme that energizes the Na‐pump by hydrolysing adenosine triphosphate and wasting energy as heat, so playing a role in thermogenesis and energy balance. Na,K‐ATPase regulation by insulin is cont...
