Abstract excerpt
The regulation of hexose transport was studied in a human diploid fibroblast respiration-deficient cell strain (WG750). Transport of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) was greater than sixfold higher compared with an in vivo age-matched normal cell strain (MCH55). In addition, 3-O-methylglucose transport and 14CO2 production were elevated in the mutant cell strain. Kinetic analysis revealed that the increased sugar...
