Cartee GD, Kietzke EW, Briggs - Tung C. Adaptation of muscle
glucose transport with caloric restriction in adult, middle - aged, and old rats.

Increasing evidence suggests that fat is
transported into the cells along similar pathways as
glucose, Davis says,
with the hormone insulin playing a critical role.
A second round of selection,
with higher levels of 2 - deoxyglucose, resulted in survival of mutants lacking the
glucose transport mechanism.
People
with type 1 diabetes need lifelong treatment
with insulin, which helps
transport the sugar
glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it serves as a key energy source.
Twenty - seven of these mutations were in proteins specifically associated
with the nervous system, including transthyretin, which helps
transport glucose across the blood - brain barrier, and microcephalin, which partly governs brain and head size.
Furthermore, the model has been used to study the molecular background for the impaired
glucose transport and glycogen synthesis associated
with insulin resistance in skeletal muscles.
We found a reduced intracellular
glucose content, indicative for a lowered
glucose transport activity, which is in agreement
with our finding of a reduced basal
glucose uptake in diabetic cultures.
Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York found that treating cells lacking PTEN
with some types of mitochondrial inhibitor caused the cells to use
glucose from their environment to make ATP and then
transport it into their mitochondria to preserve them.
Enterocytes only absorb monsaccharides either by active
transport as occurs
with glucose or by passive diffusion as
with fructose.
It also regulates
glucose transport, at the cell membrane level, which makes it useful for those
with insulin sensitivity.
Their metabolites accumulate in muscle and fat cells, activate proinflammatory signalling cascades, cause mitochondrial dysfunction, and interfere
with insulin - stimulated
glucose transport.
Glucose is absorbed in the jejunum with the help of sodium - dependent glucose transporter SGLT1 (S = sodium, GL = glucose, T = transport) only together with sodium (glucose - sodium co-tran
Glucose is absorbed in the jejunum
with the help of sodium - dependent
glucose transporter SGLT1 (S = sodium, GL = glucose, T = transport) only together with sodium (glucose - sodium co-tran
glucose transporter SGLT1 (S = sodium, GL =
glucose, T = transport) only together with sodium (glucose - sodium co-tran
glucose, T =
transport) only together
with sodium (
glucose - sodium co-tran
glucose - sodium co-
transport).
Cortisol is a hormone that helps break down stores of glycogen (stored starch) in order to raise blood sugar during times of physical and mental / emotional stress; and insulin is a hormone that deals
with glucose (or sugar)
transport and storage.
High rT3 levels
with low T3 levels lead to reduced
glucose transport into cells and reduced
glucose utilization throughout the body.
Because the further improvement in muscle
glucose transport in the combined group was not associated
with additional upregulation of GLUT - 4 protein or a further reduction in oxidative stress, the mechanism for this interaction must be due to additional, as yet unidentified, factors.
Whereas the improvement in insulin - mediated
glucose transport in soleus due to R - ALA was associated
with decreased protein carbonyl levels (an index of oxidative stress), improvement because of ET was associated
with decreased protein carbonyls as well as enhanced GLUT - 4 protein.
This increase in muscle mass may lower future risk of type 2 diabetes as hypertrophy is associated
with increased
glucose transport and insulin sensitivity (17).
