With a new method, researchers have captured a high-resolution metabolic “map” of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu How oligodendrocytes use fatty acid metabolism as an energy reserve to maintain axonal function and myelin stability when glucose is scarce, offering insights into ...

This article describes the glucose transporter proteins (SGLT and GLUT), which use active transport and facilitative diffusion for glucose uptake.

Some mammals are capable of hibernating during periods of low food availability in an effort to conserve energy and survive. While it is easy to understand why species have evolved this survival ...

The glucose transporter GLUT4 ensures controlled glucose uptake into fat and muscle cells. By targeting several steps in the membrane trafficking of GLUT4, insulin signalling allows tight ...

DESIGN: Uptake of the non-metabolized glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose was measured in cultured L6 rat muscle cells after incubation with sibutramine, its two pharmacologically active metabolites ...
