The corneal epithelial tissue is a layer of rapidly growing cells that are highly glycolytic and express GLUT1 as the major glucose transporter. nitroxyl stimulate glucose uptake in L929 cells 3 to 4-fold, but actually inhibit glucose uptake in HCLE cells. These data suggest that in the fast growing HCLE cells, GLUT1 is expressed at… Continue reading The corneal epithelial tissue is a layer of rapidly growing cells
