EPIDIDYMAL CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM

Carbohydrate Metabolism

G lucose is central to all of metabolism. It is the universal fuel for human cells and the source of carbon for the synthesis of most other compounds. Every human cell type uses glucose to obtain energy. The release of insulin and glucagon by the pancreas aids in the body’s use and storage of glucose. Other dietary sugars (mainly fructose and galactose) are converted to glucose or to intermedia...

Carbohydrate Metabolism

piled upon example from which one must conclude that the charlatan of that day was fully as competent in the light of general knowledge as is the quack today. The book has five chapters following an Introduction. I: The Doctor; II: The Apothecary; III: The Charlatan; IV: Remedies and Cures; V: Medical Practices. In the Introduction one notes many instances where the dates assigned to various ph...

The effect of maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood in rats

Introduction: Many of the diseases of adulthood are originated from the intrauterine conditions during fetal life. Because of the importance of thyroid hormones in growth and development of the fetus, the effects of maternal hypothyroidism on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood was investigated. Methods: Pregnant rats were divided into the fetal hypothyroidism (FH) and the control (C) group...

Studies on Carbohydrate Metabolism

Previous studies of carbohydrate metabolism have been limited almost exclusively to naturally occurring saturated sugars. Very little attention has been devoted to the fate of the unsaturated and anhydro sugars in the organism. Even though these unsaturated sugars occur very rarely in nature, information concerning their fate in the body would be of value in determining the mechanism of sugar m...
