Glucose is an essential source of energy during embryonic growth and fetal development and is vital for mesenchymal cell differentiation, chondrogenesis and skeletal morphogenesis. Glucose is an important metabolic fuel for differentiated chondrocytes during post-natal development and in adult articular cartilage and is a common structural precursor for the synthesis of extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans.Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology,2192-7065 ;200MedicineResearchBiologyResearchOrthopedicsEndocrinologyBiomedical ResearchOrthopaedicsEndocrinologyMedicineResearch.BiologyResearch.Orthopedics.Endocrinology.Biomedical Research.Orthopaedics.Endocrinology.612.75613.283Mobasheri A(Ali)1469261MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782093903321Facilitative Glucose Transporters in Articular Chondrocytes3680687UNINA
