Brain glucose transporters: relationship to local energy demand.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glucose, the major fuel in the brain, is transported across the cell membranes by facilitated diffusion mediated by glucose transporter proteins. Essentially two types of glucose transporters are localized in the membranes of brain endothelial cells, astrocytes, and neurons. Their densities are well adjusted to changes in local energy demand.

Emerging Roles for Glycogen in the CNS
The ability of glycogen, the depot into which excess glucose is stored in mammals, to act as a source of rapidly available energy substrate, has been exploited by several organs for both general and local advantage. The liver, expressing the highest concentration of glycogen maintains systemic normoglycemia ensuring the brain receives a supply of glucose in excess of demand. However the brain a...
متن کاملNeuronal Stimulation Triggers Neuronal Glycolysis and Not Lactate Uptake.
Proper brain function requires a substantial energy supply, up to 20% of whole-body energy in humans, and brain activation produces large dynamic variations in energy demand. While local increases in cerebral blood flow are well known, the cellular responses to energy demand are controversial. During brain excitation, glycolysis of glucose to lactate temporarily exceeds the rate of mitochondria...
متن کاملSupply and demand in cerebral energy metabolism: the role of nutrient transporters.
Glucose is the obligate energetic fuel for the mammalian brain, and most studies of cerebral energy metabolism assume that the majority of cerebral glucose utilization fuels neuronal activity via oxidative metabolism, both in the basal and activated state. Glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins deliver glucose from the circulation to the brain: GLUT1 in the microvascular endothelial cells of the b...
متن کاملDetermination of local brain glucose level with [14C]methylglucose: effects of glucose supply and demand.
Methylglucose can be used to assay brain glucose levels because the equilibrium brain-to-plasma distribution ratio for methylglucose ([Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text]) is quantitatively related to brain (Ce) and plasma (Cp) glucose contents. The relationship between Ce and[Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text]predicted by Michaelis-Menten kinetics has been experimentally confirmed when ...
متن کاملStudy on the effect of neuroprotective prolonged and intermittent normobaric hyperoxia on serum level of TNF-α and glutamate transporters expression in rat brain
Introduction: Prolonged and intermittent oxygen pre-exposure is associated with protection against ischemic reperfusion (IR) injury. In the current study, attempts were made to investigate the relationship between exposure to prolonged and intermittent normobaric hyperoxia (NBHO) and expression of excitatory amino acids transporters (EAATs) and TNF-α level. Method: Rats were divided into fo...
