Morin modulates hepatic glucose metabolism by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and enhancing glycogenolysis in perfused rat livers. These effects, partly attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired oxidative phosphorylation, are accompanied by decreased ATP levels and enzyme inhibition, raising concerns about bioenergetic imbalance and potential ...

Urinary Recovery of Salicylamide as Its Glucuronide in Liver Disease [PDF]
An attempt was made to establish the method for the estimation of glucuronide formation in vivo using salicylamide and further to study the alteration in the glucuronide formation in liver disease. The results were as follows: 1.

UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are a diverse superfamily of enzymes. Insects utilize uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-glucose) as a glycosyl donor for glycosylation in vivo, involved in the glycosylation of lipophilic endosymbionts and xenobiotics ...

Effects of galU Mutation on Pseudomonas syringae–Plant Interactions
Bacterial galU coding for a uridine diphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase plays an important role in carbohydrates biosynthesis, including synthesis of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), membrane-derived oligosaccharides, and capsular polysaccharides.

Arabinokinase Limits the Flux of Arabinose Into Nucleotide Sugars to Prevent Toxicity
ABSTRACT Arabinokinase (ARA1) is a key player in the recycling pathway of the major cell wall component L‐arabinose (L‐Ara). The enzyme catalyzes phosphorylation of L‐Ara to L‐arabinose‐1‐phosphate, which is then converted into UDP‐L‐arabinopyranose (UDP‐L‐Arap) by UDP‐sugar pyrophosphorylase (USP) followed by conversion into UDP‐L‐arabinofuranose (UDP‐

P2Y₂ Nucleotide Receptors Expressed Heterologously in Sympathetic Neurons Inhibit Both N-Type Ca²⁺ and M-Type K⁺ Currents [PDF]
The P2Y₂ receptor is a uridine/adenosine triphosphate (UTP/ATP)-sensitive G-protein-linked nucleotide receptor that previously has been reported to stimulate the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

Defects in bile pigment metabolism causing jaundice [PDF]
The excretion of bilirubin and therefore the relief of jaundice is dependent upon at least three factors. First, the bilirubin must be conjugated and thus converted into a water soluble compound: this means its conversion to an ester glucuronide although
