✦ Synopsis

A common feature of many tumors is an increase in glucose catabolism during tumor growth. We studied the mechanism of this phenomenon by using Ehrlich ascites tumor bearing mice as the animal model. We found that Ehrlich ascites tumor cells possess only glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and GLUT3 but not GLUT2, GLUT4, or GLUT5. The mRNA levels of GLUT1 and GLUT3 increased progressively in the tumour during development; however, there were no changes observable in mRNA levels of glucose transporters of all types in brain, liver, and heart of the host mice. These findings suggest that Ehrlich ascites tumor augments its glucose transport mechanism relative to other tissues in response to its unique growth needs.

## Abstract Transport of amino acids into 3T3 and SV3T3 (SV40 virus‐transformed 3T3) cells was measured on glass cover slips. The 3T3 and SV3T3 cells contain both A (alanine preferring) and L (leucine preferring) systems for neutral amino acid transport. Initial rates of uptake of amino acids are a
