Inhibitory effects EtOH on glucose uptake and GLUT1 expression in human BECs: a effect of EtOH on D-(2-3H)-glucose uptake in human BECs with or without GLUT1 inhibitor cytochalasin B(CB; 10 μM) or acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC; 200 μM). b Effect of EtOH on 55-kDa isoform GLUT1 protein levels in hBECs by Western blot analysis. c Results are expressed as the ratio of GLUT1 to α-actin bands and presented as mean values (± SD; n=4). d Immunocytochemistry of GLUT1 (green) merged with von Willebrand factor (vWF; red) is shown in control (i, ii), 50 mM EtOH (iii, iv), and EtOH + ALC (v, vi) treated human BECs. **p<0.01 statistically significant compared with control. Scale bar indicates 20 μm in the panels of d
