Glucose Transporter Expression in Skeletal Muscle of Endurance-Trained Individuals
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Two recently identified glucose transporters, GLUT8 and GLUT12, are expressed in human skeletal muscle and may be involved in insulin-mediated sugar transport. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to measure GLUT8 and GLUT12 mRNA levels in endurance-trained versus sedentary individuals in an effort to determine the effect of repeated days of contractile activity on gene expression. METHODS: GLUT 4,...
