Facilitative Glucose Transporters in Articular Chondrocytes
Publication year: 2008
: 978-3-540-78899-7
In this multidisciplinary article we review the molecular and morphological aspects of GLUT expression and function in chondrocytes and their mesenchymal and embryonic stem cell precursors and propose key roles for these proteins in glucose sensing and metabolic regulation in cartilage.
