GLUCOSE (D-glucose) is an essential fuel for the brain and many other tissues. Five
glucose-transporter proteins facilitate the diffusion of glucose across lipophilic plasma membranes. …

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of genetic disorders
characterized by abnormal iron deposition in the basal ganglia. We report that de novo mutations …

Background: The number of bariatric procedures is rapidly growing as the prevalence of

Neurodegenerative disorders with high iron in the basal ganglia encompass an expanding
collection of single gene disorders collectively known as neurodegeneration with brain iron …

Loss of pigmented noradrenergic locus ceruleus neurons occurs in Alzheimer's disease (AD)
and, to a lesser extent, in aging. We studied β‐adrenergic receptors and their subtypes, β 1 …

The authors assessed the clinical utility of a magnetic resonance angiography technique in
the evaluation of intracranial circulation. Eighteen patients with a low likelihood of …

We investigated the cellular localization and tissue distribution of the glucose transporter
