mRNA expression levels of glucose catabolism transporters in early stages of lung branching. a Schematic representation of the glucose catabolism pathway. Blue labeling indicates the enzymes and transporters that were evaluated by qPCR. Relative expression levels of b glut1, c glut3, d glut8, e mct1, and f mct8 in embryonic lungs at D0 (0 h) (b1, b2, b3) and D2 (48 h) (B1, B2, B3) of explant culture. g Expression fold variation, from 0 to 48 h of explant culture, for glut1, glut3, glut8, mct1, and mct8. mRNA expression levels were normalized for both 18 s and actin-β housekeeping genes. Results are expressed in arbitrary units, as mean ± SEM (n ≥ 5/stage/condition). One-Way ANOVA and Fisher’s LSD test were performed. Significantly different results are indicated as: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
