Various species of Clostridium, Bacteroides, Propionibacterium and Eubacterium were incubated in a 1% solution of 1,2-O-iso-propylidene-D-glucofuranose in a peptone-yeast-extract (PY) medium according to the VPI-technique. The volatile and non volatile acids were investigated by gas-liquid chromatography. All microorganisms showed a
Research reports suggest that vitamin D affects glucose and insulin metabolism; however, the exact mechanisms are unclear. ²H NMR analysis of monoacetone glucose (MAG) after tracer administration provides a non-invasive method of profiling hepatic glucose metabolism. This study examined the
A triple-tracer method was developed to provide absolute fluxes contributing to endogenous glucose production and hepatic tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle fluxes in 24-h-fasted rats by (2)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of a single glucose derivative. A primed

The metabolic mechanism of hepatic glucose overproduction was investigated in 3,3'-5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3)-treated rats and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats (fa/fa) after a 24-h fast. 2H2O and [U-13C3]propionate were administered intraperitoneally, and [3,4-13C2]glucose was administered as a primed infusion for 90
In order to synthesize a sugar ester at high concentration, 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose (IpGlc), which is one of the sugar acetals and is more hydrophobic than unmodified glucose, was esterified with palmitic acid at 40°C using immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica in
