The paper identifies a novel insulin-independent glucose uptake pathway in skeletal muscle, termed mSGLT, which operates via SGLT and Na,K-ATPase and is active during exercise and adrenergic stimulation.

The paper develops a method to measure 13C-labeled glucose and rubidium in biological samples using ICP-MS, demonstrating its ability to detect glucose uptake in skeletal muscles.
