GLUT proteins are encoded by the SLC2 genes and are members of the major facilitator
superfamily of membrane transporters. Fourteen GLUT proteins are expressed in the human …

It is long recognized that cancer cells display increased glucose uptake and metabolism. In
a rate-limiting step for glucose metabolism, the glucose transporter (GLUT) proteins facilitate …

Phosphoinositides (PIs) make up only a small fraction of cellular phospholipids, yet they
control almost all aspects of a cell's life and death. These lipids gained tremendous research …

The current knowledge of the normal biochemistry of compounds that give rise to
resonances in human brain proton magnetic resonance spectra measureable at readily …

The protein family of facilitative glucose transporters comprises 14 isoforms that share
common structural features such as 12 transmembrane domains, N‐and C‐termini facing …

Neurons need a continuous supply of glucose, the major source of energy for mammalian
brain metabolism. The central nervous system is protected by three main physiological cell …

Glucose is the major energy source for mammalian cells as well as an important substrate
for protein and lipid synthesis. Mammalian cells take up glucose from extracellular fluid into …

Introduction: Inositol and its derivatives comprise a huge field of biology. Myo-inositol is not
only a prominent component of membrane-incorporated phosphatidylinositol, but …

The most common cause of dementia, especially in elderly people, is Alzheimer's disease
(AD), with aging as its main risk factor. AD is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease …

Glucose and other carbohydrates are transported into cells using members of a family of
integral membrane glucose transporter (GLUT) molecules. To date 14 members of this …
