Abstract: D‐Glucose is the major substrate for energy metabolism in peripheral nerve. The mechanism of transfer of glucose across the blood–nerve barrier is unclarified. In this study an in situ perfusion technique was utilized, in anesthetized rats, to examine monosaccharide transport from blood into peripheral nerve. Unidirectional influxes of D‐[14C]glucose, L‐[14C]glucose, and [14C]3‐O‐methyl‐D‐glucose across capillaries of the tibial nerve were measured at different perfusate concentrations of unlabelled D‐glucose. The permeability‐surface area product (PA) for D‐[14C]glucose and [14C]3‐O‐methyl‐D‐glucose decreased, whereas the PA for L‐[14C]glucose remained constant, as the perfusate concentration of D‐glucose was increased. In the presence of no added unlabelled D‐glucose in the perfusate, the PA for L‐[14C]glucose equaled one‐fifth the PA for D‐[14C]glucose. These results demonstrate self‐saturation, competitive inhibition, and stereospecificity of glucose transfer, and for the first time show a unidirectional facilitated transport mechanism for D‐monosaccharides at capillaries of mammalian peripheral nerve. The data were fit to a model for facilitated transport and passive diffusion. The half‐saturation constant and maximal rate of transport for the saturable component of D‐glucose influx equaled 23 ± 11 μmol ml–1 and 6.6 ± 3.2 × 10–3μmol ± s–1· g–1, respectively. The constant of nonsaturable glucose influx equaled 0.5 ± 0.1 × 10–4 s–1. At normal plasma glucose concentrations, the saturable component comprises about 80% of total D‐glucose influx into nerve. In anesthetized rats unidirectional influx of D‐glucose exceeds, by a factor of about two, published rates of glucose utilization by peripheral nerve.
