SLC17A5 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Compared to mRNA expressions of sialin in the liver of controls, rats with T2D had higher sialin mRNA expression in the soleus muscle (32.1-fold, P < 0.001) and kidney (1.97-fold, P = 0.005) and lower expression in the heart (0.008-fold, P < 0.001), aorta (0.063-fold, P < 0.001), stomach (0.26-fold, P < 0.001), intestine (0.096-fold, P < 0.001), eAT (0.51-fold, P = 0.010), and brain (0.29-fold, P < 0.001).
