To control for the osmotic effects of high glucose, mesangial cells were also cultured in the presence of 20 mM or 50 mM martnitol. Mannitol had no effect on cellular proliferation but significantly increased tissue culture supernatant fibronectin levels and fibronectin gene expression. These studies...

To determine whether or not endothelial cell survival was decreased after incubation with high glucose concentrations in culture media, we studied the influence of d -glucose or l -glucose (a non-metabolizable stereoisomer of d -glucose) on cell survival using the trypan-blue exclusion test. Simul...
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS)-associated health problems have raised concerns. We investigated the effects of HFCS-containing drinking water on body fat, intestinal microbiota structure of mice, and the relationships between them. HFCS drinking water significantly increased body fat content and altered...
This would not entirely mimic the natural abundance of fructans in high-sugar ryegrass (Harrison, 2012), but create a substitute treatment of WSC with a fermentation rate intermediate between inulin and glucose (Hall and Weimer, 2016). Content of ammonia-N and pH in silage as fed indicated ...
A high glucose diet extends the lifespans of aged adult animals The shortening of lifespan by a HGD in young C. elegans and other model organisms is well-documented4,5,6,7 but little is known on aged animals. To compare the effects of HGD on the lifespan of young adults and aged wor...
mRNA expression of extracellular matrix proteins (collagens I, III, IV and fibronectin) was not altered by high glucose in these experimental conditions. Repletion of glutathione with N-acetyl L-cysteine (1 mmol/l) in VSMC grown in high glucose was associated with reduction in malondialdehyde ...
Energy and fructose from beverages sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup pose a health risk for some people. Sugar intake in the United States has increased by >40 fold since the American Revolution. The health concerns that have been raised about the amounts of s... Bray,A G....
Swimming speeds were generally greater for rainbow trout cultured in the high NO3-N treatment, but were not always significantly different. Although most water quality variables were controlled, significant differences between treatments for the concentrations of other water quality parameters inhibited ...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rd on proliferation and expression of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1) in human mesangial cells(HMC) induced by high glucose. METHODS Seven groups were set up including normal-sugar group(NG), high glucose group(HG), high glucose plus ...
