Uptake of labeled Dand L-glucose has been shown to occur with highly purified brush border membranes from the epithelial cells of rat small intestine using a Millipore filtration technique. An intact glucose carrier system in the isolated membranes was demonstrated as evidenced by the following. (a) D-Glucose was taken up and released faster than L-glucose. (b) Sodium ions increased initial rat...

noise is considered as one of the harmful factors at industrial environments. it affects human health in different aspects including harmful influences on auditory, vision, neurological and psychiatric systems, hormones, physiological and mental systems. paying attention to the importance of hormonal effects on human body seems to possess crucial importance. the aim of the present study is to i...

The stereospecificity of the binding site on the glucose carrier system in sugar beet suspension culture cells was determined using a series of aldo and keto hexose sugars and sugar alcohols. Specificity was determined as competition with [(14)C]glucose transport and glucose/proton symport.The binding site of the glucose carrier system was specific for the stereo orientation of the three equato...
