From: GLUT4, GLUT1, and GLUT8 are the dominant GLUT transcripts expressed in the murine left ventricle
Relative expression of GLUT transcripts in the left ventricle of a murine model of cardiac pressure overload. Comparative real time PCR was performed to analyze the relative mRNA expression of GLUT transcripts in the left ventricles derived from C57BL/6J mice in a pressure-overload induced cardiac hypertrophy setting. A) An increased left ventricle to body weight ratio shows that mice receiving TAC were experiencing compensatory cardiac hypertrophy. B) Real time PCR shows that the expression levels of GLUT transcripts were lower in mice receiving aortic constriction compared to sham operated animals (n = 6-7 mice/group). *, P < 0.05.
