The GLUT1 we detected was of the vascular 55 kDa subtype, rather than the neuronal/glial 44 kDa subtype.32 Stroke also led to a reduction (40%) in GLUT-1 in the ischaemic hemisphere of acute high-fat fed mice compared to the non-ischaemic hemisphere, an effect that was also observed in control fed mice (40% reduction). The gene discussed is SLC2A1; the disease is Stroke.
