The phrase "alternative uptake" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing different methods or approaches to acquiring or absorbing information, resources, or substances.
Example: "The study explored alternative uptake methods for improving nutrient absorption in plants."
Alternatives: "alternative acquisition" or "alternative absorption".
Another potential solution may be to use alternative uptake metrics to SUVmax.
As reduced cellular uptake is a well-known resistance mechanism of cisplatin we explored the potential to overcome resistance in cisplatin-resistant A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells by means of macromolecular prodrugs exploiting endocytosis as alternative uptake mechanism.
This study extends existing studies [39] which have shown that the impact on SUVmax can be addressed with appropriate post-filters, by demonstrating that the same approach can be used for reconstructions with TOF reconstructions and also with alternative uptake metrics such as SUVpeak or TLG.
Thus, so long as an alternative uptake route is available, antibody-exposed virions remain infectious.
Since the baculovirus was observed in cell surface ruffles and in large cytoplasmic endosomes, the involvement of alternative uptake mechanisms including macropinocytosis was studied [12].
This finding emphasizes the assumption of an additional alternative uptake process, at least for TcdA, which still might be based either on the recognition of different receptor structures or on the use of other associated endocytotic pathways.
Glucose consumption (through alternative glucose uptake mechanisms) remained very low throughout, while glycerol and lactate displayed the highest uptake rates at the faster growth rates.
Cupriavidus necator H16 has also been shown to use an alternative glycerol uptake system like PEP-PTS for glycerol transport (Kaddor and Steinbuchel 2011).
Furthermore, we tested the influence of an alternative glucose uptake system on the performance of the reductive biotransformation.
An alternative iron uptake system found in LMG 26808 might be advantageous in an iron deficient environment.
Recently, we reported on the discovery of a third, alternative lactose uptake system that we found to be operative in L. lactis IL1403 (Aleksandrzak-Piekarczyk et al. 2011).
