Abstract
⺠New insights into the mechanism of action of the anti-diabetic agent sodium tungstate. ⺠Involvement of G-proteins in Ras/ERK activation by tungstate. ⺠Non-canonical signalling pathway leading to the activation of glycogen synthesis. ⺠This new pathway may be exploited as an approach to treat diabetes.
