Multiphasic Absorption of Glucose and 3-O-Methyl Glucose by Aged Potato Slices

The Relation of Glucose Absorption to Respiration in Potato Slices.

Erythrocyte 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake assay for diagnosis of glucose-transporter-protein syndrome.

Glucose transport into the brain is mediated by a facilitative glucose-transporter protein, GLUT-1. A GLUT-1 defect results in the Glucose-Transporter-Protein Syndrome (GTPS), characterized by infantile epilepsy, developmental delay, and acquired microcephaly. The diagnosis is currently based on clinical features, low to normal lactate levels and low glucose levels (hypoglycorrhachia) in the ce...

Preservation of Mouse Sperm by Convective Drying and Storing in 3-O-Methyl-D-Glucose

With the fast advancement in the genetics and bio-medical fields, the vast number of valuable transgenic and rare genetic mouse models need to be preserved. Preservation of mouse sperm by convective drying and subsequent storing at above freezing temperatures could dramatically reduce the cost and facilitate shipping. Mouse sperm were convectively dried under nitrogen gas in the Na-EGTA solutio...

Supportive data on the regulation of GLUT4 activity by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Regulation of GLUT4 activity in myotubes by 3-O-methyl-D-glucose" (Shamni et al., 2017) [1]. These data show that the experimental procedures used to analyze the effects of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (MeGlc) on the rate of hexose transport into myotubes were valid and controlled. The stimulatory effect of MeGlc was limit...

Active transport of 3-O-methyl-glucose by the small intestine in chronically catheterized rats.

A method is described for determining the fraction of intestinal 3-O-methyl-glucose (3OMG) absorption that occurs by active transport in chronically catheterized rats without the influence of anesthesia or surgical bowel manipulation. That fraction was determined by simultaneously measuring portal venous-aortic blood concentration gradients (delta C) of 3-O-methyl-glucose (3OMG) and L-glucose, ...
