Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression of Glut-1 and Glut-4 mRNA in septic rat diaphragmatic muscle. Methods A rat model of septic and control model was established, and the expression of Glut-1 and Glut-4 mRNA in diaphragmatic muscle of SD rats were analyzed by RT-PCR. Results The expression of Glut-1 and Glut-4 mRNA showed an increasing trend with aging and sepsis. Conclusion The imbalance of diaphragmatic carbohydrate metabolism in sepsis plays a vitally important role in sepsis in respiratory dysfunction , especially, the Glut-1 and Glut-4 mRNA expressions in rat diaphragm are altered with age while sepsis effects on Glut-1 and Glut-4 mRNA expressions are age dependent.

Key words: endotoxin, sepsis, diaphragm, glucose transporter
