Abstract:
A new glucose transport model relying upon diffusion and convection across the capillary membrane was developed, and supplemented with tissue space and lymph flow. The rate of glucose utilization (J util) in the tissue space was described as a saturation function of glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid (C glu,isf), and was varied by applying a scaling factor f to J max. With f = 0, the glucose diffusion ceased within ~20 min. While, with increasing f, the diffusion was accelerated through a decrease in C glu,isf, but the convective flux remained close to resting level. When the glucose supplying capacity of the capillary was measured with a criterion of J util /J max = 0.5, the capacity increased in proportion to the number of perfused capillaries. A consistent profile of declining C glu,isf along the capillary axis was observed at the criterion of 0.5 irrespective of the capillary number. Increasing blood flow scarcely improved the supplying capacity.
