Gut microbes that were thought to feed exclusively on dietary fiber also get fed sugar from our guts, from which they produce ...

These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose. Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize energy ...

Researchers have discovered a novel approach to protecting insulin-producing beta cells from the damaging effects of glucolipotoxicity - a harmful condition linked to the progression of type 2 ...

The sugar can ... into the sugar glucose. Thousands of glucose molecules can be linked together to form the complex carbohydrate cellulose. Cellulose is a very tough molecule that is used to ...

when a sugar molecule bonds to a protein, without the controlling action of an enzyme. But scientists have lacked an understanding of the specific molecular link between glucose and Alzheimer's.

Sugar levels in blood depend on ... two major parts in its structure—a ring-shaped structure called a macrocycle, and a ...

“Those that lack the molecule would mostly likely belong to the lineage that led to modern humans.” Ancient human ancestors were able to synthesize Neu5Gc for millions of years, but then lost this ...

The sucrose molecule has many oxygen-hydrogen (O–H) bonds which are polar. The charge-density model shows the positive areas near the hydrogen atom as blue and the negative area near the oxygen atom ...
