Comparison between normal and SLE-PMN glucose uptake and expression of glucose transporter type 3 (GLUT-3) and type 6 (GLUT-6). (a) Glucose uptake of the cells was detected by 3H-2-deoxy-D-glucose incorporation after 24-hour incubation. (b) Expression of GLUT-3 on normal and active SLE-PMN. (c) Expression of GLUT-6 on normal and active SLE-PMN.
