Exploring the Diversity of Sugar Compounds in Healthy, Prediabetic, and Diabetic Volunteers

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 64, Issue 9, May 2020., 2020
A pilot study with a broad sugar profiling analysis during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in the healthy and diabetic state is performed. Overall, 40 sugar compounds, including rare sugars, are detected in human plasma. A range of sugars reveal similar characteristic changes as glucose during an OGTT.

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 11: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2019

EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a generic safety evaluation for biological agents to support EFSA's Scientific Panels. The taxonomic identity, body of knowledge, safety concerns and antimicrobial resistance are assessed.

Computer-aided identification of Trypanosoma brucei uridine diphosphate galactose 4'-epimerase inhibitors : toward the development of novel therapies for African sleeping sickness [PDF]

, 2010
Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, affects tens of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans. As current therapeutics are inadequate due to toxic side effects, drug resistance, and limited effectiveness, novel therapies are

Toxicological Assessment of D‐Allulose From a Novel One‐Step Fermentation Process Using Genetically Modified Escherichia coli: A 90‐Day Dietary Toxicity Study in Rats

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
D‐Allulose is a rare monosaccharide structurally similar to D‐fructose, characterized by low caloric content and relatively high sweetness. This study aimed to conduct a 90‐day oral toxicity test to systemically evaluate the potential toxicological effects of D‐allulose produced via a novel one‐step fermentation process using genetically engineered ...
