Adsorption of Sugars on Al- and Ga-doped Boron Nitride Surfaces: A Computational Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Molecular adsorption on surfaces is a key element for many applications, including sensing and catalysis. Non-invasive sugar sensing has been an active area of research due to its importance to diabetes care. The adsorption of sugars on a template surface study is at the heart of matter. Here, we study doped hexagonal boron nitride sheets ($h$-BNNs) as

Review Article: Glucosamine [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2009
It has been claimed that glucosamine is able to alleviate pain, slow down losses of, and even restore articular cartilage in patients with damaged or osteoarthritic joints. It is classified as a food additive or nutraceutical; therefore manufacturers do not need to comply with the same regulations that apply for quality assurance within the ...

UDP-glucosamine as a substrate for dolichyl monophosphate glucosamine synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1986
The sugar nucleotide analogue UDP-glucosamine was found to function as a sugar donor in microsomal preparations of both chick-embryo cells and rat liver, yielding dolichyl monophosphate glucosamine (Dol-P-GlcN). This was characterized by t.l.c. and retention by DEAE-cellulose.

Glucosamine and Leukemia.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1953
SummaryHighly purified glucosamine at dose levels as high as 20 g per day for several days did not influence the course of one patient with acute lymphocytic, one with acute histiomonocytic, one with chronic myelocytic and 2 with chronic lymphocytic leukemias.

Fermentation of animal components in strict carnivores: a comparative study with cheetah fecal inoculum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The natural diet of felids contains highly digestible animal tissues but also fractions resistant to small intestinal digestion, which enter the large intestine where they may be fermented by the resident microbial population.

Glucosamine suppresses proliferation of human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells through inhibition of STAT3 signaling

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2009
Background Glucosamine is known as a toxic agent for several malignant cell lines and transplanted tumors with little toxicity to normal host tissues. However, the mechanisms underlying anticancer activity of glucosamine are poorly understood.
