Method for the Detection of Insulin‐independent Glucose Uptake in Skeletal Muscle

The quantification of glucose uptake into tissues, alongside co‐solutes flux, is essential to advance basic knowledge of glucose transport and metabolism. However, comprehensive understanding of glucose metabolism has been elusive. A major player in this crucial process is muscle tissue ‐ its large mass, high catabolic rate and storage capabilities make a major contribution to glucose homeostasis. The traditional insulin‐dependent model has proven insufficient to explain a well‐documented clinical observation: Type II diabetic, insulin resistant patients can lower their blood sugar levels with frequent exercise. One challenge in studying a complex mechanism like glucose uptake in muscles is the lack of experimental tools with multi‐channel capabilities, able to quantify most of, if not all the possible related solute fluxes within current models, in‐vivo or ex‐vivo. Our goal was to develop a method to measure glucose, K+, Na+, Ca2+, Fe, Cu, Zn2+ and Mn flux in biological samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectroscopy (ICP‐MS). ICP‐MS is well established as a sensitive and versatile tool for direct detection and quantification of specific elements.
