Now glucose cannot move into the blood by diffusion. This is against a concentration gradient, so it will not happen naturally. Animals therefore use active transport to absorb glucose into the ...

Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it pertains to the pancreatic ß-cell is that the characteristic decreases in insulin synthesis and secretion are caused by decreased insulin gene expression.

These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose. Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize energy ...

Instead, the cells expressed genes involved in glucose transport, de novo lipogenesis, and triglyceride synthesis, strongly indicating that LCs produce their own fat vacuoles. Adipocytes can swell up ...

While GLUT1 is the primary glucose transporter in conventional T cells, GLUT3 plays a central role in glucose metabolism in ...

We are working in conjunction with Dr. Jacob Segil of CU Boulder and Dr. Richard Weir of CU Anschutz on an implantable glucose fuel cell for medical uses. Our team is interested in developing ...

These are mitochondria of several distantly related unicellular eukaryotes (protists) that lack an electron transport ... allow the cell to gain about 4 mol of ATP per mole of glucose.

Dr Gulati says there are many studies that show hydration can slow down gastric emptying and lead to appetite control.
