Using two different models of right ventricular hypertrophy, they found variable degrees of Myc induction and increased expression of glutamine receptors SLC1A5/ASCT2 and Slc7A5 as well as increases in the mRNAs encoding the Glut1 glucose transporter and hexokinase (HK) 1. Here, SLC1A5 is linked to Right ventricular hypertrophy.
