It is well known that too much sugar uptake causes many health problems, including diabetes and obesity (Lustig et al. in Nature 482:27-29, 2012). However, a team of researchers led by Dr. Wanjun Chen of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), National Institutes of
D-mannose, a C-2 epimer of glucose, exists naturally in many plants and fruits, and is found in human blood at concentrations less than one-fiftieth of that of glucose. However, although the roles of glucose in T cell metabolism, diabetes and obesity are well characterized, the function of D-mannose
Serum mannose concentration increases in diabetic patients and correlates closely with blood glucose. In patients with glomerulonephritis, serum mannose and mannose/glucose ratio positively correlate with dyslipidemia and the extent of urinary protein excretion. We investigated whether changes in
In many patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treated with HIV protease inhibitors, a complication develops that resembles abdominal obesity syndrome, with insulin resistance and glucose intolerance that, in some cases, progresses to diabetes. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that
A method for isolation and perfusion of a pancreas preparation consisting of pancreas, stomach, proximal duodenum, and spleen is described. Basic characteristics of regulation of insulin secretion from the perfused pancreas isolated from rats, albino mice, obese mice (ob/ob), and black mice were
