1. These studies examined the theory that ATP served to regulate muscle sugar transport by a feedback mechanism. Xylose uptake by isolated rat soleus muscle was determined over a 5-min period following preincubation at 37 degrees C for various times in the presence of insulin (0.1 unit/ml),
Insulin (100 U/l) stimulated xylose uptake in rat soleus muscle from a basal value of 2.3 +/- 0.5 to 11.6 +/- 2.1 mumol . g-1 . h-1. Denervation (section of the sciatic nerve) markedly reduced the stimulatory action of insulin (basal 1.3 +/- 0.4 mumol . g-1 . h-1; insulin-stimulated 4.5 +/- 0.6
Cycloheximide (20-200 mg/l) did not affect basal D-[U-14C]xylose uptake by rat soleus muscle (2.4 +/- 0.2 mumol . g-1 . h-1). However, the stimulatory effect of insulin on sugar transport was progressively reduced from 375% above basal in control muscles to 170% in muscles exposed to 200 mg
The metabolism of glucose and xylose was studied as a function of oxygenation in suspensions of Candida tropicalis by 31P and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Both the rate of carbohydrate metabolism and the cytoplasmic pH were independent of the rate of oxygenation in cells metabolizing
Small-bowel absorption was studied using the xylose absorption test in 16 patients with varying degrees of arterial oxygen desaturation due to either congenital heart disease or chronic lung disease. Xylose absorption was decreased in the cases with more severe desaturation. The correlation of
Candida shehatae cells, cultivated on D-glucose and D-xylose, were subjected to a shift from fully aerobic to anaerobic fermentative conditions. After anaerobic conditions were imposed, growth was limited to approximately one doubling or less as C. shehatae rapidly entered a stationary phase of
The intestinal absorption of D-xylose was studied during the subchronic poisoning of male Wistar rats with orally administered potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite associated with exercise; running on a moving track during the last two weeks of poisoning. The metabolic parameters of Na+/K(+)-ATPase,
Production of xylitol from lignocellulosic biomass is of interest to modern biorefineries, because this biomass should be processed into a spectrum of chemicals (bio-based products) and not only energy. The isolation of new yeast strains capable of efficiently converting xylose into xylitol and
Intestinal barrier inflammatory damage is commonly accompanied by hypoxia. The hypothesis that dietary Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharides (ASPS) might modulate the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) signalling pathway and contribute to attenuate intestinal injury was tested in
The uptake of D-xylose by isolated rat soleus muscle (measured at 37 degrees C) was stimulated by prolonged cooling at 0 degrees C. The effect of cooling reached a maximum value after 3 h and was reversed on rewarming; reversal was temperature-dependent. Cooling stimulated xylose uptake
The response of the cat papillary muscle to anoxia has been found to alter depending on the glucose concentration in the medium. At a glucose concentration of 5 mM anoxia caused a marked reduction in force of contraction and action potential duration within 20 minutes. At a glucose concentration of
The growing demand of biodegradable plastic polymers is increasing the industrial need of enantiospecific l-lactic acid (l-LA), the building block to produce polylactides. The most suitable industrial strategy to obtain high amounts of LA is the microbial fermentation of fruit and vegetable wastes
The specific binding of 125I-insulin by rat soleus muscle was depressed when muscle ATP was depleted, either by prolonged anoxia or more rapidly with 2,4-dinitrophenol. Insulin binding was not eliminated in ATP-depleted muscle, but was reduced by 70--80%. Insulin binding by aerobic muscle could be
In order to form an opinion of the value of certain precocious rejection tests with a view to ulterior intestinal allograftings, the authors intend first of all to determine the consequences of the operation itself and of the possibility resulting anoxia on the function of the intestinal mucosa. A
Iodoacetate, over the range 0.2-2 mM, stimulated the uptake of D-xylose by rat soleus muscle and inhibited anaerobic lactate production by soleus muscle. Stimulation of sugar transport is considered to be due to the resultant fall in ATP. p-Chloromercuribenzene sulphonate (0.5-2 mM) stimulated
