Glucose is the principle energy source for the mammalian brain. Delivery of glucose from the blood to the brain requires transport across the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier and into the neurons and glia. The facilitative glucose transporter proteins mediate these processes. The primary

## Abstract Organs consist of several types of cells with specialized functions. This cellular localization of function is often referred to as compartmentation. Due to the intrinsic low sensitivity of MR methods it is generally not possible __in vivo__ to obtain images or spectra of single cells.
Glucose transport through human skin can be facilitated by electroosmotic flow that results from the application of an electric current across the skin (iontophoresis). A series of studies on human volunteers examined how formulation factors (buffer type, pH, ionic strength, and buffer concentration
## Abstract Malignant cells are known to have accelerated metabolism, high glucose requirements, and increased glucose uptake. Transport of glucose across the plasma membrane of mammalian cells is the first rateβlimiting step for glucose metabolism and is mediated by facilitative glucose transporte
