By the use of 1mm-iodoacetate to inhibit glycolysis in guinea-pig cerebral tissue slices, the kinetics of the uptake of monosaccharides on transfer of tissue from 0 degrees to 37 degrees were studied. d-Ribose, d-galactose, d-mannose, l-sorbose, and d-fructose showed diffusion kinetics, whereas 2-deoxy-d-glucose, d-glucose, d-arabinose and d-xylose showed saturation kinetics.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of blood glucose resulting from the inefficiency of insulin. This study aims to explore the mechanism of TGFB-induced factor homeobox 1 (TGIF1) in the glycolipid metabolism of mice with T2D.
Research Design And Methods: Mice with T2D were induced by high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) injection.

Second-generation (2G) bioethanol production, derived from lignocellulosic biomass, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels by addressing growing energy demands and environmental concerns. Fungal sugar transporters (STs) play a critical role in this process, enabling the uptake of monosaccharides such as glucose and xylose, which are released during the enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. This mini-review explores recent advances in the structural and functional characterization of STs in filamentous fungi and yeasts, highlighting their roles in processes such as cellulase induction, carbon catabolite repression, and sugar signaling pathways.

Introduction: Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic drug used to treat various cancers. Exercise training (ET) can attenuate some cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX) in tumor-free animals. However, the ET effects on cardiac function and glucose metabolism in DOX-treated breast cancer models remain unclear.

Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in human red blood cells plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, recent studies have suggested large variation in the relationship between average glucose levels and HbA1c, creating the need to understand glucose variability at the cellular level. Here, we devised a fluorescence-based method to quantitatively observe GLUT1-mediated intracellular glucose analog tracer uptake in individual RBCs utilizing microfluidics and confocal microscopy.

Background: Glucose deprivation inhibits T-cell metabolism and function. Glucose levels are low in the tumor microenvironment of solid tumors and insufficient glucose uptake limits the antitumor response of T cells. Furthermore, glucose restriction can contribute to the failure of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy for solid tumors.
