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.
Our current guess for the peak for the North Georgia and extreme western NC 2014 leaf season around November 1st. Evening temperatures are now dipping into the 50s and the leaves are beginning to change in earnest. Many dogwoods are now showing purple, some scarlet red virigina creeper can be seen among the trees and the sugar maples have flared to life this week. Hickorys, maples, and poplars are about 50% yellow.
