- Supply and Demand in Cerebral Energy Metabolism: The Role of Nutrient Transporters (2007, background): “Interestingly, peripheral sites of GLUT3 expression include sperm, platelets, placenta, and certain human gliomas; all cell types that exhibit high rates of glucose metabolism (see Joost and Thorens, 2001; Uldry and Thorens, 2004; Wood and Trayhurn, 2003).”
- Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance: Underlying Causes and Modification by Exercise Training (2013, unknown): “To date, over 14 GLUT family members have been identified (317).”
- Dietary fructose: implications for dysregulation of energy homeostasis and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism. (2005, background): “Glucose transport through brain capillaries for utilization by the CNS is mediated by GLUT3 and does not require insulin, whereas fructose does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier,(148) most likely due to the lack of GLUT5-mediated transport.(149) Since signaling in glucose-sensitive/-responsi”
- Molecular and cellular regulation of glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins in cancer (2005, background): “Transport of glucose across the plasma membrane of mammalian cells is the first rate-limiting step for glucose metabolism and is mediated by facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins.”
- Glucose transporters (GLUT and SGLT): expanded families of sugar transport proteins (2003, methodology): “Sequence comparisons of all members reveal the presence of ‘sugar transporter signatures’ (Joost & Thorens, 2001) and these consist of numerous conserved glycine and tryptophan residues, which are regarded as being essential for general facilitative transporter function.”
