Glucose plasma, enrichment

In addition to secretory cells, many non-secretory cells are capable of regulating exocytotic fusion of transport vesicles that are derived from endosomal precursors. For instance, vesicles enriched in plasma membrane transport proteins are incorporated in a regulated manner in order to alter metabolite fluxes. Examples include the glucose transporter GLUT-4 in muscle and fat tissues, a key element in the control of... 

The primed-constant infusion technique was used in aE experiments. In order to quantitate both the rate of cose production and glucose oxidation, it was necessary to determine the enrichment of plasma glucose and of expired COp.
