glucose transporter: a basolateral protein in hepatocytes and intestine and kidney cells. ABSTRACT The " liver " isoform of the facilitated diffusion glucose transporter is expressed predominantly in liver, intestine, kidney, and pancreatic islet p-cells. The apparent molecular mass of the transporter in liver, kidney, and intestine is different, as detected by Western blot analysis of membrane...

INTRODUCTION Transfer of glucose across the human placenta is directly proportional to maternal glucose concentrations even when these are well above the physiological range. This study investigates the relationship between maternal and fetal glucose concentrations and transfer across the placenta. METHODS Transfer of d-glucose, (3)H-3-o-methyl-d-glucose ((3)H-3MG) and (14)C-l-glucose across ...

Intestinal glucose absorption is mediated by SGLT1 whereas GLUT2 is considered to provide basolateral exit. Recently, it was proposed that GLUT2 can be recruited into the apical membrane after a high luminal glucose bolus allowing bulk absorption of glucose by facilitated diffusion. Moreover, SGLT1 and GLUT2 are suggested to play an important role in intestinal glucose sensing and incretin secr...

BACKGROUND The bioluminescence technique was used to quantify the local glucose concentration in the tissue surrounding subcutaneously implanted polyurethane material and surrounding glucose sensors. In addition, some implants were coated with a single layer of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) because these cells improve the wound-healing response around biomaterials. METHODS Control and ...

background: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic complications of pregnancy and causes fetal mortality and morbidity. therefore early diagnosis of gdm is necessary to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes objective: this prospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of gdm in yazd and to assess th...

materials and methods the segmentation process is evaluated using four different clustering methods with different number of clusters where some dti scalar indices for 10 human brains are processed. results the aim was to produce results with less segmentation error and a lower computational cost while attempting to minimizing boundary overlapping and minimizing the effect of artifacts due to m...

conclusions despite of high resistance of p. aeruginosa, the resistance rate of p. aeruginosa strains isolated from children in the current study was not high. then accurate prescription of antibiotics can decrease the speed of resistance creation. background the first report of pseudomonas aeruginosa (p. aeruginosa) carbapenem resistant strains, and especially the metallo-beta-lactam (mbl) pro...

abstractin the present work we set out to investigate the neuroprotective effects of noscapine (0.5-2 µm) in presence of d-glucose on primary murine foetal cortical neurons after oxygen–glucose deprivation/24 hrs recovery. cell viability, nitric oxide production and intracellular calcium ([ca2+]i) levels were evaluated by mtt assay, the modified griess method and fura-2 respectively. 25 and 100...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy which is associated with 3 to 4 folds of increase in the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity, if it is not diagnosed early (1). gestational diabetes occurs from 1% to 14%, and 90% of pregnancy-related diabetes has been related to gestational diabetes (2). glucose challenge test (gct) and glucose toleranc...

Diabetes resulting from the low secretion of insulin and resistance, is a chronic metabolic disorder. Medication plant materials for treatment Mellitus advised as good source novel drug or leading to preparation drug. We investigated antidiabetic property fractions subfractions obtained ethyl acetate extract Trachyspermum ammi seeds. TLC analysis crude was done. Then column chromatography used ...
