Abstract excerpt
Glucose is the primary energy substrate for eukaryotic cells and the predominant substrate for the brain. Studies suggest that glucose serves an additional role in the regulation of cellular functions, including viability. Zebrafish is a tractable system for defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms perturbed by impaired glucose transport and metabolism. Previously, we demonstrated a critical role for the...
