the SGLTs secondary active Na + /D-glucose co-transporters located at the brush border of tubular cells (SGLT2 and SGLT1) and the GLUTs facilitated diffusion glucose transporters located at the ...

This initiates a whole metabolic pathway with different steps that eventually allow glucose transporters to translocate from the interior to the cell membrane to allow glucose to enter," he continues.

Texas Tech University researchers used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to quantify glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in mammalian brain cells.

Transporters carry a molecule (such as glucose) from one side of the plasma membrane to the other. Receptors can bind an extracellular molecule (triangle), and this activates an intracellular process.

Although glucose transporters are also used in other organs, such as muscles or the spleen, the boost in the brain obtained by using polymer micelles and glycaemic control is dramatic. That’s ...

By comparing glucose levels in mice treated with metformin ... to its anti-cancer effects in cells expressing metformin ...

Tubular glucose reabsorption is performed by the combined action of Na + /D-glucose SGLTs co-transporters and GLUT-facilitated diffusion glucose transporters. SGLT2 inhibitors are a new family of ...
