Description for Facilitative Glucose Transporters in Articular Chondrocytes
Paperback. Articular cartilage is a highly specialized avascular connective tissue. This multidisciplinary article reviews the molecular and morphological aspects of GLUT expression and function in chondrocytes and their mesenchymal and embryonic stem cell precursors. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 95 pages, 1 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSF; PSV. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 3. Weight in Grams: 166.
1 Introduction The provision of nutrients and oxygen to synovial joints is essential for the ph ysiological and load-bearing functions of articular cartilage and the hom- static control of metabolism within chondrocytes, its resident cells (Mobasheri et al. 2002c; Mobasheri et al. 2006). The transport of nutrients (i. e. , glucose, other h- ose and pentose sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, nucleosides and water soluble vitamins such as vitamin C) into articular chondrocytes is essential for the synt- sis of collagens, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans by chondrocytes (Clark et al. 2002; Goggs et al. 2005; McNulty et al. 2005; Mobasheri et al. ...
