In skeletal muscle, prenatal ethanol‐induced insulin resistance is characterized by a reduction of glucose transporter (glut)‐4 expression (Chen and Nyomba 2003a,b) and impaired insulin signaling in the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase pathway (Elton et al. 2002; Chen et al. 2005; Yao and Nyomba 2007). Here, SLC2A4 is linked to Insulin resistance.
