You better check it out on literature or websites of ATCC.
I am not very familliar with HuH-7 cells. But, I guess, in your experiment you have to use cell lines whose glucose uptake is enhanced by insulin (so-called "Insulin-dependent glucose uptake"). The liver is one of organs which shows insulin-dependent glucose uptake and, in addition, in response to insulin stimulation it stops glyconeogenesis and uptake glucose more efficiently, I believe. That is why, liver cells seem to be good candidates for investigation of insulin and glucose metabolism.
By the way, you better not reveal detail of your projects here. Or, you might be scooped by someone who are doing similar works. |
