Glucose transport in cerebral microvessels during Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis infection in mice.
Plasmodium yoelii infected cerebral micro vessels of mice registered a significant increase in D-[U-14C] Glucose transport as compared to normal microvessels which was found to be time, temperature and concentration dependent. Metabolic inhibitors galactose, manose, 2-deoxy glucose and D-glucose showed noticeable inhibition of the same.
