Regulation of Glucose Transporter 1 (Slc2a1) in the Pituitary Gonadotrope of Mice after Puberty

Glucose provides fuel for cell metabolism and plays an important role in normal reproductive function. Glucose transporters such as (SLC2A1) facilitate entry of glucose into cells. We have previously shown that gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates Slc2a1 expression in Li¢T2 gonadotrope cells and in the pituitary gland of pre-pubertal mice. In this study we examined changes in Slc2a1 expression in the pituitary gland of mice after...
