Facilitative carbohydrate transporters—Gluts—have received wide attention over decades
due to their essential role in nutrient uptake and links with various metabolic disorders …

The imaging and quantification of the endocrine pancreas by a non-invasive procedure
remains a challenge. In the prolongation of prior work on selected succinic acid esters and …

Glucose transport rates are estimated noninvasively in physiological and pathological states
by kinetic imaging using PET. The glucose analog most often used is 18F-labeled 2FDG …

This review covers published literature describing the synthesis of labeled carbohydrates for
use in molecular imaging, with a particular focus on the use of nuclear techniques (PET …

Medicine, Bormans et al.(1) examine the uptake of 11C-labeled D-glucose analogs α-methyl-
D-glucoside and β-methyl-D-glucoside in the mouse kidney. It appears that both of these …

Purpose Insulin resistance, characterised by an insulin-stimulated glucose transport defect,
is an important feature of the pre-diabetic state that has been observed in numerous …

With the goal of developing a PET radioligand for the in vivo assessment of glucose
transport, 6‐deoxy‐6‐[18F] fluoro‐d‐glucose ([18F] 6FDG) was prepared in two steps from …

Background Impairment of insulin‐stimulated glucose transport is a characteristic of type 2
diabetes. A radioactive glucose analogue has been synthesized:[125I]‐6‐deoxy‐6‐iodo‐d …

According to studies earlier, amino acids have proven to be antidiabetic, antiglycating, and
anticataractogenic. The present study was to explore whether amino acids as mixtures could …
