Glucose transporter 8 immunoreactivity in astrocytic and microglial cells in subependymal areas of human brains

•Immunoreactivity for GLUT8 is localized in the cytoplasm of subependymal glial cells in autopsied human brains.•Immunoreactivity for GLUT8 is mainly localized in subependymal vimentin-positive glial cells.•Immunoreactivity for GLUT8 is sometimes localized in GFAP-positive astrocytes and CD68- or HLA-DR-positive microglial cells.
