Journal ArticleDOI

GLUT1 glucose transporter expression in colorectal carcinoma: a marker for poor prognosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that GLUT1 glucose transporter expression is increased in colorectal carcinoma, and that the degree of expression might have prognostic significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The C-type lectin SIGN-R1 mediates uptake of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the marginal zone of mouse spleen

TL;DR: It is found that encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae are rapidly cleared by these macrophages from the bloodstream, and that capture also takes place when different cell lines express SIGN-R1 after transfection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocorticoid-Induced Insulin Resistance: Dexamethasone Inhibits the Activation of Glucose Transport in Rat Skeletal Muscle by Both Insulin- and Non-Insulin-Related Stimuli

TL;DR: Dex treatment reduces basal glucose transport and decreases the maximal response of skeletal muscle glucose transport to insulin, the related hormone IGF-I, and the non-insulin-related stimulus hypoxia, support the hypothesis that glucocorticoids may also act by inhibiting the glucose transport system, per se.
