General description

3-O-Methyl-D-glucopyranose is a passive carrier-mediated transported glucose analogue.

Application

Varying concentrations of 3-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose were used to measure responses of jejunal and ileal short circuit currents to determine maximal transport capacity and carrier affinity in a study to assess intestinal glucose transport in rats with diabetes mellitus. It has also been used in a study to investigate nonmetabolizable glucose analogues and ornithine decarboxylase expression in LLC-PK1 cells.

This report examines the effect of nonmetabolizable glucose analogues on ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in LLC-PK1 cells. The addition of Na(+)-dependent cotransported glucose analogues, 1-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (alpha-MDG) and 1-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, to Earle's balanced salt solution minus glucose (EBSS-G) increased ODC activity five-

Studies in the critically ill that evaluate intragastric and post-pyloric delivery of nutrient have yielded conflicting data. A limitation of these studies is that the influence in the route of feeding on glucose absorption and glycaemia has not been determined.

Chronic diabetes enhances intestinal absorption of glucose and induces hyperphagia. We examined the enhanced intestinal absorption of glucose in ad libitum-fed rats with streptozocin-induced diabetes mellitus and compared these results with those obtained from pair-fed diabetic animals.
