Proglycosyn and resorcinol stimulate glycogen synthesis and inhibit glycolysis in hepatocytes. The former effect is attributed to inactivation of phosphorylase mediated by glucuronidated metabolites. This study investigated the mechanism by which resorcinol inhibits glycolysis. Resorcinol (150 microM) inhibited glycolysis in hepatocytes incubated with glucose (15-35 mM) but not with dihydroxyac...

background: glutathione (gsh) is a non-protein thiol compound, which plays an important role in the response to oxidative stress and nutritional stress. the aim of this study was to isolate indigenous s. cerevisiae strains capable of effectively produce gsh. methods: one hundred-twenty sweet fruit samples were collected. the strains were isolated on yeast glucose chloramphenicol (ygc) agar medi...

In the brain, glucose homeostasis of extracellular fluid is crucial to the point that systems specifically dedicated to glucose sensing are found in areas involved in energy regulation and feeding behavior. Olfaction is a major sensory modality regulating food consumption. Nutritional status in turn modulates olfactory detection. Recently it has been proposed that some olfactory bulb (OB) neuro...

The involvement of circulatory glucose in the energy provision of skeletal muscle and heart of swimming carp was examined. Plasma glucose concentration varied from 3 to 17 mM among individual carp, and estimates of glucose turnover rate (RT) were positively correlated with plasma glucose level in resting fish (range 1.6-6.3 mumol.min-1.kg-1) and in swimming fish (range 4.2-10.7 mumol.min-1.kg-1...

One approach to the noninvasive monitoring of blood glucose concentration is to monitor glucose concentrations in tear fluid. While several methods for sensing glucose in tear fluid have been proposed, controversy remains as to the precise concentrations of tear glucose in normal and diabetic subjects and as to whether tear fluid glucose concentrations correlate with blood glucose concentration...

BACKGROUND Intensive insulin therapy may reduce mortality and morbidity in selected surgical patients. Intensive insulin therapy also reduced the SD of blood glucose concentration, an accepted measure of variability. There is no information on the possible significance of variability in glucose concentration. METHODS The methods included extraction of blood glucose values from electronically ...

Abstract Carbon-limited chemostat cultures were performed using different carbon sources (glucose, 10 and 20 g/L; sucrose, 10 g/L; fructose/glucose, 5.26/5.26 g/L; carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose/glucose, 5/5 g/L) to verify the capability of wild type strain Trichoderma harzianum produce extracellular enzymes. All carried out at a fixed dilution rate 0.05 h−1. Experiments glucose, fructose/g...

High glucose concentration in the airway surface liquid (ASL) is an important feature of diabetes that predisposes to respiratory infections. We investigated the role of alveolar epithelial SGLT1 activity on ASL glucose concentration and bacterial proliferation. Non-diabetic and diabetic rats were intranasally treated with saline, isoproterenol (to increase SGLT1 activity) or phlorizin (to decr...
