Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 4(5), 493-497 (1990-09-01)
The molar ratios of oxalate and glycolate over creatinine were determined in single urine samples of 26 infants and 27 children aged 1-5 years. In 135 children aged 5-16 years, two urine specimens were collected, one before breakfast and one

Novel ZnMn(2)O(4) ball-in-ball hollow microspheres are fabricated by a facile two-step method involving the solution synthesis of ZnMn-glycolate hollow microspheres and subsequent thermal annealing in air. When evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, these ZnMn(2)O(4) ball-in-ball hollow microspheres

Ethylene glycol and glycolate kinetics were studied in two cases of ethylene glycol intoxication with maximal ethylene glycol/glycolate concentrations of 40.9/26.8 and 56.4/22.4 mmol/liter, respectively. Both patients survived, but with prolonged renal failure, upon treatment with bicarbonate, ethanol, and hemodialysis.

Photorespiratory carbon flux reaches up to a third of photosynthetic flux, thus contributes massively to the global carbon cycle. The pathway recycles glycolate-2-phosphate, the most abundant byproduct of RubisCO reactions. This oxygenation reaction of RubisCO and subsequent photorespiration significantly limit

Journal of toxicology. Clinical toxicology, 39(6), 607-615 (2002-01-05)
To correlate serum glycolic acid levels with clinical severity and outcome in ethylene glycol poisoning and to determine if glycolic acid levels are predictive of renal failure and the need for hemodialysis. We measured serum ethylene glycol and glycolic acid
