Abstract excerpt
Alveolar epithelium in situ takes up luminal glucose by cotransport with sodium. Cultured alveolar type II pneumocytes have only sodium-independent glucose uptake. It is unclear which isoforms are responsible for glucose transport in these cells and why sodium-glucose cotransport activity disappe...
