As has been observed with many types of cultured cells, chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) when exposed to the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) develop a 3-to 4-fold increase in hexose transport activity in 4 h. This increase in transport activity occurred despite a modest dec

## Abstract Enhanced amino acid transport is observed when quiescent cultures of chicken embryo fibroblasts are stimulated to proliferate by the addition of purified multiplicationβstimulating activity (MSA). This increase in amino acid transport is an early event occuring prior to the onset of DNA
The K + ionophore valinomycin at concentrations of 1 x lo-' M and over, stimulated 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) and 3-0-methylglucose (30MG) uptake in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. The rate-limiting step of 2DG uptake was transport rather than phosphorylation, in the control or valinomycin-treated cells. Kineti
## Abstract Effects of transformation by Rous sarcoma virus on sugar uptake and activity and the subcellular distribution of hexokinase isozymes in chick embryo fibroblasts were examined. Transformation caused a severalβfold increase in the maximum velocity for uptake of 2βdeoxyglucose without a si
