Glucose and galactose structural isomers

Common Questions and Answers about Glucose and galactose structural isomers

glucose

Avatar n tn I have noticed that the levothyroxine has a sodium atom, heavier molar wieght and different structural formula. Isomers are known not to function like the parent compound. So why levothyroxine and not thyroxine in thyroid meds?
Avatar m tn Both the aminopyrine breath test and galactose breath test were sensitive (89%) predictors of death within 1 week, but the galactose breath test was more specific (83%). Morphometric measurements of livers from surviving cirrhotic animals and controls (n = 5 each) showed that mean hepatocyte mass was maintained in the cirrhotic livers [cirrhosis (17.0 ± 2.0) vs. controls (13.9 ± 0.9 gm)].
Avatar f tn s syndrome, angina, heart failure, heart rhythm disorder, recent heart attack, a hereditary condition such as fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, or severe anxiety, tension, or agitation. Methylphenidate may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Concerta should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction.
Avatar m tn and third, a functional extracellular matrix must be synthesized by the cells to have the right properties, and cartilage cells prefer to use unmodified sugars - like glucose and galactose - to synthesize its own precursors. If you are a consumer, I would suggest saving your money for something else; if you're looking to make money by selling hyaluronic acid, it can be isolated easily and cheaply from any cartilage from any animal and sold at a sufficient mark-up to make you rich.
Avatar m tn Floaters are a hallmark of elevated blood glucose, which could cause all of your symptoms. So square one is to get an hba1c and to obtain a glucose meter and take your own readings. This does not mean that you don't have neurological issues. A screen for vitamin deficiencies is in order, as well as an endochonological consult. Hormonal abnormalities can cause these symptoms. The MRI rules out structural anomalies, and the EEG gross electrical abnormalities.
798555 tn?1292787551 Yeah, they don't make it clear. lactose: "a sugar present in milk. It is a disaccharide containing glucose and galactose units." lactase: "an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose to glucose and galactose" Therefore lactase breaks down lactose into simple sugars, and people like me don't produce lactase, so we don't digest lactose into glucose and galactose.
Avatar f tn Lab work says creatine is high, eGFR level is low and my ratio of Bun/Creatine is normal. I also had a fasting glucose serum level of 120. Is that dangerously high?
Avatar m tn Blood tests for glucose, electrolytes and thyroid function tests can be done to rule out other diseases.. An ECG may also be useful in evaluating cardiac problems. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn dont do the 3 hour GTT for diabetics but the 4-hour GTT for reactive hypoglycemia. Your blood is taken after a 12-hour fast. Then you are given a glucose challenge (a sugary drink), and your blood is taken at one hours intervals for for 4 hours. The test itself is really a pain but I am happy I did it. It turns out my blood sugar drops extremely low after meals and this is accompanied by heart palpitations.
325086 tn?1217971180 My wife has noticed a strange breath odor, even after I have brushed and used mouthwash. It seems to be coming from deep inside. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a home remedy. When I Goggle it all I get is expensive kits and ads. I'm also wondering if there's a correlation between fibrosis stage and bad breath.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have a 2.4 year old son. He has been flapping his hands when he is excited since he was about 20 months of age. He flaps from elbow to hand, or from the wrist to fingers. Recently he has begun crossing his left eye in while flapping (we see it every few days or so). I've seen the eye cross in without the flapping, but it usually happens simultaneously. He is normally developing in all areas. He's very verbal and uses pronouns correctly, and speaks in 6- 10 word sentences.
Avatar m tn We were told to consider adderal for ADD, and consulted both her pediatrician and her pediatric cardiologist in Buffalo. I read quite a lot of frightening things online about the side effects of this drug. Her PC is not concerned, performed an EKG after Olivia had taken the pill for a week, and it read normal. Her pediatrician is far more concerned as she has no experience treating children with structural heart defects taking Adderal. I need another opinion please!
Avatar n tn If all these tests and the consultation with your doctor goes normal then I would think that might be the end of your journey, but if any of the results concern the doctor they might order an angiography or a cardiac MRI to look for clogged arteries (CAD, cornorary artery disease). Blood tests for LDL and HDL cholesterol as well as serum glucose may help in terms of finding out if pre-diabetes or high cholesterol is an issue given the fact you say you are overweight.
4862546 tn?1360241703 Kristalose is contraindicated in patients who require a low-galactose diet and should be used with caution in diabetics. Initial dosing may produce flatulence and intestinal cramps, which are usually transient. Excessive dosage can lead to diarrhea with potential complications, such as loss of fluids, hypokalemia, and hypernatremia. Talk to your liver doctor about getting a prescription for Kristalose.
Avatar n tn Muscle relaxants and a cervical collar are contraindicated. Fasting helps a bit as well as keeping glucose levels down because of something called hyperosmolality.
Avatar m tn s exceptionally rich mucilage content is composed of easily digested, nontoxic, complex carbohydrates, and Slippery Elm Bark also contains alpha- and beta-sitosterol, campestrol, tannin, protein, phytosterol, polysaccharide, salicylic acid, selenium, silicon, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, chromium, D-galactose, fat, fiber, fructose, glucose, beta-carotene and vitamins B-1, B-2, B-3 and C.
Avatar f tn the urologist also said i have a high-pressure bladder and put me on enablex. unfortunately i still get infections. my urine gets a musty, strong smell and a cloudy color to it -thats when i know an infection is coming. the urologist says i might have a burning bladder. what is that? and how is it different to an infection? he does not believe that i have infections -but then what is it? and why does my urine burn like it does? i also suffer from candida albicans. could this be related?
967168 tn?1477584489 I've been told and read arrhythmia's in a normally "structural" heart are really nothing to worry about. So my question is - what exactly constitutes "structurally" normal heart? I would really appreciate an answer from one of the doctors here to really understand what this means.
1166402 tn?1303847056 I still have obsessive thoughts and feel the Celexa might not be doing anything for my anxiety. What about Effexor? I heard the withdrawals are bad? What about Buspar? Any luck with that drug?
Avatar n tn Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is an alternative therapy that has primarily been used for lowering blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Components of bitter melon extract appear to have structural similarities to animal insulin. Antiviral and antineoplastic activities have also been reported in vitro. Four clinical trials found bitter melon juice, fruit, and dried powder to have a moderate hypoglycemic effect.
3195223 tn?1345097910 The theories are that there might be some microscopic defects that cause irritability and excitability in the atriums or ventricles and thus lead to ectopic beats and even short little runs of SVT or monomorphic VT. The two most common "irritable" sites are the RVOT and LVOT. It's an annoying and scary sensation to deal with, especially if it is frequently occurring, but in the absence of overt structural/electrical disease the prognosis is generally extremely benign.
422881 tn?1257603579 Reducing dosage frequency is considered desirable for minimizing side effects and increasing the efficacy; and is more convenient for the patient as such biopharmaceutical drugs must usually be administered by injection. Additionally, the modified structure of PharmaEssentia's PEG-INF-alpha makes for a purer drug, leading to a simpler manufacturing process and better quality control over the end product, particularly when produced at higher doses.
