The PET scan can detect the uptake of glucose, which tumors need to nourish their growth.
Albendazole inhibits the uptake of glucose by the helminth and therefore the production of energy.
Other drugs affect the uptake of glucose and thus energy stores.
Glucose Uptake Assay Kit (Ab83426, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) was used to measure the uptake of glucose by cultured NP cells.
A labelled fluorescent glucose, 2-NBDG (Sigma) was used to detect the uptake of glucose as recommended by the supplier.
Marxsen, J. Bacterial biomass and bacterial uptake of glucose in polluted and unpolluted groundwater of sandy and gravelly deposits.
Taken together, these results demonstrate that downregulation of PHLPP promotes the uptake of glucose followed by increased glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in colon cancer cells.
Furthermore, mammary uptake of glucose and amino acids, including Gln, was not affected by Gln supplementation.
The cellular uptake of glucose is an essential physiological process, and movement of glucose across biological membranes requires specialized transporters.
This supply begins in the small intestine, where transport proteins mediate the uptake of glucose into cells lining the gut.
In addition, we performed glucose uptake assays in combination with IGF-1, because IGF-1 promotes uptake of glucose and resistance to IGF-1/insulin signaling has been implicated as a factor in AD pathogenesis10,19.
