Cardiac muscle is characterized by a high rate of glucose consumption. In the absence of
insulin, glucose transport into cardiomyocytes limits the rate of glucose utilization and …

GLOMERULONEPHRITIS is an inflammation of the kidney characterized by the
accumulation of extracellular matrix within the damaged glomeruli1–4, impaired filtration …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes an insulin-sensitive glucose transporter and
discusses the regulation of glucose transport proteins. In the study discussed in the chapter …

Metabolic control analyses of glucose utilization were performed for four groups of working
rat hearts perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing 10 mM glucose only, or with the …

The insulin-regulated glucose transporter GLUT4 was immunolocalized in rat cardiac
muscle under conditions of basal and stimulated glucose uptake, achieved by fasting and a …

Rationale: Metabolic and structural remodeling is a hallmark of heart failure. This
remodeling involves activation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling …

INTRODUCTION: Chronically altered glucose metabolism interferes with 18F-FDG uptake in
malignant tissue and healthy organs and may therefore lower tumor detection in 18F-FDG …

The influence of contractile activity, insulin, catecholamines and diabetes mellitus on the
acute as well as long-term regulation of glucose transport into skeletal muscle was …

The administration of saturating doses of insulin to the glucose perfused, working rat heart
acutely increased activity of the glucose transporter 4, GLUT 4, in the plasma membrane …
