some plant extracts showed the ability to retard the diffusion of glucose across the dialysis tube. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of teucrium polium (t. polium) on glucose movement across the dialysis tube. the t. polium powder was dissolved in ethanol and distilled water. then glucose was added to make a final concentration of 0.2 – ...

plants with hypoglycemic properties are important in the treatment of diabetes. one of the mechanisms in reducing blood glucose is preventing the digestive absorption of glucose. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of some traditional medicinal plants collected from different regions of iran and their effects on glucose diffusion decrease. the amounts of phenolic co...

6-Deoxy-D-glucose, a structural homomorph of D-glucose which lacks a hydroxyl group at carbon 6 and thus cannot be phosphorylated, is transported by Saccharomyces cerevisiae via a facilitated diffusion system with affinity equivalent to that shown with D-glucose. This finding supports the facilitated diffusion mechanism for glucose transport and contradicts theories of transport-associated phos...

In order to understand the role of glucose limitations in controlling multicellular tumor spheroid growth, knowledge of the glucose diffusion coefficient is essential. The effective diffusivity of glucose in spheroids of rodent and human tumor cell lines has been determined by measuring the efflux of tritium labeled L-glucose from spheroids with time. When the rapid and irreversible binding of ...

We demonstrate the capability of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique for depth-resolved monitoring and quantifying of glucose diffusion in fibrous tissues (sclera). The depth-resolved and average permeability coefficients of glucose were calculated. We found that the glucose diffusion rate is not uniform throughout the tissue and is increased from approximately 2.39+/-0.73 x 10(-6)...
