Abstract
Uptake of D-glucose anomers by isolated rat retina was studied. After 3 min incubation at 37 degrees C in the presence of alpha or beta anomer (750 mug/ml), a significantly greater uptake (1.32 mg/g wet tissue) of beta-anomer was observed compared with that of alpha-D-glucose (1.11 mg/g wet tissue). This result and other data suggest that the carrier for D-glucose transport in the retina prefers the beta-anomer stereospecifically.Entities:
