Glucose from blood enters the brain by a transport protein. Glucose is the primary energy substrate of the brain. Glucose transport protein (GLUT-1) is highly enriched in brain capillary endothelial cells.These transporters carry glucose molecules through the blood brain barrier.lucose is the primary energy substrate of the brain.

Seeing the changing autumn leaves is a longstanding Colorado tradition that generally takes place mid-September to mid-October each year, and AAA Colorado, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and Colorado Parks and Wildlife want to let people know where to drive and how to drive safely for some of the best views this season.
The tans and browns of oaks are caused by tannins which accumulate as the chlorophyll disappears. Fall color starts in September with poison ivy and sumac and ends in November with the larches and weeping willows. Frost and freezing temperatures will stop the coloration process and blacken the leaves. Source: Barbara Larson, Extension Educator, Horticulture. Morton Arboretum: Why Leaves Change Color.
