(A and B) MEFs of indicated genotypes were cultured in normoxia (N, 21% O2) or exposed to hypoxia (H, 1% O2) in 1-13C-glucose-containing media for 48 hr; extracellular 3-13C-lactate levels measured by NMR spectroscopy (mean ± SEM, n = 3 independent experiments).
(C and D) MEFs exposed to H for 24 hr were labeled with 2-NBDG (100 μM) for 3 hr to measure glucose uptake (mean ± SEM, n = 3).

(G) Indicated cell types were exposed to H for 24 hr and immunostained for GLUT1 protein. Scale bars, 25 μm.
(H and I) Cells transiently expressing Flag-GLUT1 were exposed to H for 24 hr; cell surface expression of Flag-GLUT1 was FACS quantified (mean ± SEM, n = 3).
