D(+)‐Glucose permeability in brown trout <i>Salmo trutta</i> L. erythrocytes

Abstract

D(+)‐Glucose penetration in trout erythrocytes was studied with osmotic and tracer methods. Results give no evidence for a carrier mediated diffusion system like that concerned with glucose permeability as in human red cells. The data show that glucose fails to stimulate erythrocyte respiration.
