Glucose and galactose metabolism in Gluconabacter liquefaciens

Glucose and galactose metabolism in Streptococcus pyogenes.

Studies initially concerned with the role of nutrient carbohydrates in the formation of capsular hyaluronic acid by various strains of Streptococcus pyogenes led to the finding that the end products of glucose and galactose dissimilation in these organisms differ quantitatively (Steele et al., 1954). This paper is a report of further investigations on the latter aspect of the carbohydrate metab...

A Case Report of Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption in Iranian Child

Introduction Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption (GGM) is an autosomal recessive and rare disorder of intestinal transport of glucose and sodium-glucose cotransporter type (SGLT1). Case Report Our patient is a 32-day-old boy who was examined for severe diarrhea and acidosis and was treated with GGMdiagnosis. A number of laboratory tests were performed on this patient as well as positive test for r...

Congenital glucose galactose malabsorption.

Introduction Congenital glucose galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, which presents as a protracted diarrhoea in early neonatal life. It is due to a defect in sodium coupled transport of glucose and galac­ tose in the enterocyte (1). Diarrhoea in CGGM is osmotic, caused by accumulation of unabsorbed glucose and ga­ lactose in the intestine (2), which results in...

Glucose-galactose malabsorption.

Disorders of galactose metabolism.

Galactose metabolism occupies a central position in modern biology through its relationship to cell surface antigenicity and its metabolic function as a component of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Disturbances in three fundamental reaction sequences of this hexose have led to a delineation of pathways of the chemistry resulting in the understanding of its metabolic fate. These inherited disorde...
