THREE naturally occurring aldohexoses—glucose, mannose and galactose—can readily be differentiated by the following method. Add 2 mgm. of the unknown sugar material to a solution of ...

The authors compared the tumor cells' growth on a variety of sugars: glucose, fructose, frucose, galactose, and mannose. Out of everything they tested, mannose was the only one that seemed to slow ...

D-mannose is a simple sugar found in many fruits. It is related to glucose. It also occurs naturally in some cells in the human body. Some studies suggest D-mannose may play a useful role as a ...

glucose, galactose, mannose or rhamnose, 10 g per litre each) or the control broth (no sugar added) were inoculated with 10 μl of an overnight culture of each indicated S. Typhimurium strain ...

However, it is very hard to control the amount of glucose in your body through diet alone. In this study, the researchers found that mannose can interfere with glucose to reduce how much sugar ...

Chemically, d-mannose is considered a simple sugar. Structurally, it is similar to glucose, but it is absorbed more slowly in the gastrointestinal tract. This accounts for its lower glycemic index.

Mannose, which can be bought in health food shops and is sometimes used to treat urinary tract infections, is thought to interfere with the ability of tumours to use glucose to grow. Scientists ...

Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a rare metabolic condition. It occurs when a genetic variation makes the body unable to properly absorb the simple sugars glucose and galactose.

There’s a quiet sugar that most people never think about: galactose. It doesn’t show up on most food labels. It’s not as famous as glucose or as controversial as fructose. But galactose ...
