INS and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In addition, by correlating myristic acid and type 2 diabetes, Wada et al. found that the reduced expression of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) δ in skeletal muscle reduces the body’s glucose uptake, and it was found that myristic acid enhances the body’s insulin-dependent uptake of glucose and basal glucose uptake in the myotubes in a DGK δ2 expression-dependent manner [60].
