Summa ry: Summa ry: Glucose uptake in individual organs can be measured using a bolus injection of 2-deoxy-D-[1-14 C] glucose, a non-metabolizable glucose analog, and by determining labeled metabolite levels in select tissues. Insulin resistance is characterized by reduced glucose metabolism and develops in obese mice.
