• Role of calcium and AMP kinase in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and GLUT4 levels in muscle 

  Ojuka, Edward O. (Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2004)

  Contractile activity induces mitochondrial biogenesis and increases glucose transport capacity in muscle. There has been much research on the mechanisms responsible for these adaptations. The present paper reviews the ...
• Uric acid and transforming growth factor in fructose-induced production of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle 

  Madlala, Hlengiwe P.; Maarman, Gerald J.; Ojuka, Edward (Oxford University Press, 2016)

  The consumption of fructose, a major constituent of the modern diet, has raised increasing concern about the effects of fructose on health. Research suggests that excessive intake of fructose (>50 g/d) causes hyperuricemia, ...
• Increased expression of GLUT-4 and hexokinase in rat epitrochlearis muscles exposed to AICAR in vitro 

  Ojuka, Edward O.; Nolte, Lorraine A.; Holloszy, John O. (J. Appl. Physiol., 2000)

  Increased expression of GLUT-4 and hexokinase in rat epitrochlearis muscles exposed to AICAR in vitro. J. Appl. Physiol. 88: 1072–1075, 2000.—Exercise acutely stimulates muscle glucose transport and also brings about ...
• CaMK activation during exercise is required for histone hyperacetylation and MEF2A binding at the MEF2 site on the Glut4 gene 

  Smith, James A. H.; Kohn, Tertius A.; Chetty, Ashley K.; Ojuka, Edward O. (Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 295, 2007)

  CaMK activation during exercise is required for histone hyperacetylation and MEF2A binding at the MEF2 site on the Glut4 gene. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 295: E698 –E704, 2008. First published July 22, 2008; ...
• Regulation of GLUT4 biogenesis in muscle: evidence for involvement of AMPK and Ca2+ 

  Ojuka, Edward O.; Jones, Terry E.; Nolte, Lorraine A.; Chen, May; Wamhoff, Brain R.; Sturek, Micheal; Holloszy, John O. (Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 282, 2002)

  Regulation of GLUT4 biogenesis in muscle: evidence for involvement of AMPK and Ca2 . Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 282: E1008–E1013, 2002; 10.1152/ ajpendo.00512.2001.—There is evidence suggesting that adaptive increases ...
