Sugar metabolism in the crystalline lens

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1978
Research on the sugar metabolism of the crystalline lens, past and preent, is reviewed. The chief energy source in the lens is the Embden-Meyerhof pathway; respiration and oxidative phosphorylation become more important as the lens ages. The function of the alpha-glycerophosphate cycle is not fully understood.

Amino sugar metabolism in erythrocytes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1968
Abstract The ability of rabbit erythrocytes to synthesize glucosamine and convert it to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) has been measured in mature erythrocytes, in reticulocytes, and in the immature bone marrow erythroid cells. The cells were incubated with either [14C]fructose which can be converted via fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) to ...

Digestion and metabolism of sugars

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995
Many factors potentially influence the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of the various species of sugars occurring in the human diet. Experimental evidence indicates that the source of sugars in foods does not in itself affect the rate of absorption or the metabolism of the sugars.

Metabolism of the Sugar Alcohols and Their Derivatives

1945
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the metabolism of the sugar alcohols that emphasis mainly on the isomeric hexitols. Substances such as methyl alcohol and ethylene glycol are studied under categories other than the sugar alcohols. The sugar alcohol refers to the hexahydric alcohols and their availability as food in the human diet warrants ...

Metabolism of sugars and physical performance

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995
Physical activity in the form of exercise requires the metabolism of bodily fuel reserves to provide energy for muscle contraction. Under normal circumstances, very little protein is metabolized to provide the energy for muscle contraction. At rest and at low exercise intensities, the metabolism of fat provides a considerable proportion of the energy ...

Sugar Metabolism and Compartmentation

Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, 1991
A brief general picture of areas of current interest in the field of sugar metabolism and compartmentation in higher plants is presented. The control of partitioning of carbohydrate between sucrose and starch in leaves (source), the breakdown and utilisation of sucrose in sinks, and the storage of sugars and starch in sinks is described.

The Metabolism of Sugars and Starches

1989
The dietary carbohydrates, whether ingested as pre-formed sugars or as starches, enter the body proper almost exclusively as their constituent monosaccharides. In the case of starches, including “animal starch” or glycogen, this is always, and exclusively, as glucose. The sugars are more variable in the composition.

Studies on growth and metabolism of Oenococcus oeni on sugars and sugar mixtures

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2005
To study the effect of sugars and sugar mixtures on the growth kinetics of Oenococcus oeni NCIMB 11648 in batch culture with the aim of producing a high cell productivity system for starter cultures.The growth of O. oeni was investigated on single sugars (glucose, fructose or sucrose) and their mixtures (glucose-fructose, glucose-sucrose or fructose ...

Metabolic engineering for bioproduction of sugar alcohols

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2008
Sugar alcohols find applications in pharmaceuticals, oral and personal care products, and as intermediates in chemical synthesis. While industrial-scale production of these compounds has generally involved catalytic hydrogenation of sugars, microbial-based processes receive increasing attention.

Sugar Transport and Metabolism in Schistosoma mansoni

The Journal of Parasitology, 1975
The absorption kinetics of some 14-C-labeled simple sugards in adults of Schistosoma mansoni are described. The influx of fructose and 3-0-methylglucose was by diffusion alone, while glucose, 2-deoxyglucose (2DOG), galactose, glucosamine, and mannose were absorbed by mediated transport as well as by diffusion.
