monosaccharide transport proteins (medicine) and tendinous spot (medicine)


monosaccharide transport proteins (medicine)


monosaccharide transport proteins
Membrane transport proteins which bind glucose and sodium ions and enter the cell together. The sodium ions are then pumped out of the cell by a sodium potassium atpase. The rate and extent of the sugar transport depends on the sodium ion concentration. Inhibitors of the monosaccharide transport system are phlorizin, cytochalasin b, and inhibitors of the sodium potassium atpase system. Insulin increases the rate of monosaccharide transport across the membrane into the cell.


tendinous spot (medicine)


tendinous spot -->
macula albida
Gray-white or white, rounded or irregularly shaped, slightly opaque patches or spots that are sometimes observed postmortem in the epicardium, especially in middle-aged or older persons; they result from fibrous thickening, and sometimes hyalinization, of the epicardium; similar lesions may also occur in the visceral layer of the peritoneum.

Synonym: macula lactea, macula tendinea, tache blanche, tache laiteuse, tendinous spot, white spot.
