title: 2-Deoxy-D-glucose accumulation in adipocytes: apparent transport discrimination between 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose.
abstract: The uphill accumulation of free 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate in rat adipocytes was found not to affect the steady-state distribution of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose although both hexoses share a common transport pathway. This observation argues against a possible effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose phosphate on the equilibrating nature of the carrier. The results are discussed in light of hypotheses advanced to explain free 2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation in a variety of cells.
