GLUCOSE UPTAKE BY RABBIT GESTATIONAL MYOMETRIUM [PDF]

open access: yesReproduction, 1972
Summary. Determinations of glucose uptake were made using myometrial tissue from non-pregnant and pregnant rabbits. Sugar uptake was measured during incubation in vitro under aerobic conditions. In non-pregnant animals, uptake was over two times greater in oestrous than in anoestrous animals, suggesting that glucose uptake is related to oestrogen ...

Modelling Atherosclerotic Plaque Cap Mechanics: Microcalcifications Reduce Mechanical Properties in Mesenchymal Stromal Cell‐Based Model

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
This study develops a tissue‐engineered model of the atherosclerotic cap using human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). After 2 weeks of culture to produce a collagenous matrix, a mineralizing medium induces microcalcifications over 4 weeks. These constructs, imaged with second harmonic generation microscopy, lead to reduced ultimate stress at rupture ...

Computer‐aided rational design of the phosphotransferase system for enhanced glucose uptake in Escherichia coli

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2008
The phosphotransferase system (PTS) is the sugar transportation machinery that is widely distributed in prokaryotes and is critical for enhanced production of useful metabolites.

NAADP Mediates Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Uptake and Insulin Sensitization by PPARγ in Adipocytes

open access: yesCell Reports, 2012
Insulin stimulates glucose uptake through the membrane translocation of GLUT4 and GLUT1. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) enhances insulin sensitivity.

Optimizing a Standard Fasting Time for 2-NBDG Uptake Studies in Murine Breast Cancers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Recently, there has been a larger use of 2-NBDG, a fluorescent glucose analog, to study glucose uptake in different cell types. These cell types have ranged anywhere from bacteria to human cancer cells.

Insulin signalling and TBC1D1 in skeletal muscle metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has taken the form of a pandemic disease globally as people adopt a more western lifestyle. High circulating glucose levels indicates that an individual is in the risk zone for developing T2DM.

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Major constituents of Cistanche tubulosa, echinacoside and acteoside, inhibit sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 1-mediated glucose uptake by intestinal epithelial cells

open access: yesJournal of Functional Foods, 2017
Echinacoside (ECH) and acteoside (ACT), the major constituents of Cistanche tubulosa, suppress the increase in postprandial blood glucose level. Although ECH and ACT have been reported to weakly inhibit α-glucosidases, the underlying mechanism remains ...

Prognostic value of metabolic signature on 18F-FDG uptake in breast cancer patients after radiotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2021
Radiotherapy (RT) is a major modality of postoperative treatment in breast cancer. The maximal standardized value (SUVmax) is 18FDG-PET/CT derived parameter that reported to be a valuable prognostic factor in cancer patients. Herein, we aimed to identify
