Glucose uptake and glucose transporter proteins in skeletal muscle from undernourished rats.
Undernutrition in rats impairs secretion of insulin but maintains glucose normotolerance, because muscle tissue presents an increased insulin-induced glucose uptake. We studied glucose transporters in gastrocnemius muscles from food-restricted and control anesthetized rats under basal and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic conditions. Muscle membranes were prepared by subcellular fractionation in sucr...
متن کاملSimplified brain slice glucose utilization.
Brain slice glucose utilization (SGU) can be measured by methods analogous to those used for in vivo cerebral glucose utilization. In order to make this technique more accessible and applicable to a broad range of experimental conditions, we have derived a simplified operational rate equation and generated the table of apparent rate coefficients necessary to apply the equation under different e...
متن کاملAstrocytes Couple Synaptic Activity to Glucose Utilization in the Brain.
Astrocytes have functional characteristics that make them particularly well suited to couple glutamate uptake from the synaptic cleft to Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activation and glucose utilization. The changes in glucose metabolism associated with these processes may provide signals detected by positron emission tomography.
متن کاملChanges in local cerebral glucose utilization during rewarding brain stimulation.
The quantitative 2-deoxy[14C]glucose method was used to determine local cerebral glucose utilization in unrestrained rats responding (lever-press) for rewarding electrical stimulation to area A10 (ventral tegmental area) and in similarly implanted inactive controls. Self-stimulation was associated with significant increases in metabolic activity, highly circumscribed in the ventral tegmental ar...
متن کاملMuscle power after glucose-potassium loading in undernourished patients.
The force-frequency characteristics and maximal relaxation rate of the adductor pollicis muscle were measured before and after 48 hours of intravenous loading with glucose (104.5 kJ (25 kcal)/kg/24 h) and potassium (20 mmol(mEq)/500 ml glucose) in eight undernourished patients about to undergo surgery. Both variables of skeletal muscle performance, which were depressed when compared with data f...
