Possible Interaction: Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Galactose

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The pattern of the composition of membrane-associated polysaccharides was also substantially changed: DMSO induced a preferential synthesis of galactose and a decrease of xylose, whereas mannose and glucose content remained practically unchanged.

Vasopressin, nystatin and dimethylsulfoxide all increase colonic permeability to galactose.

If glucose or galactose are present in the lumen in high initial concentrations, DMSO enhances the rate of absorption, and also changes the kinetics of transport from a saturation type (typical for carrier-mediated transport) to a diffusion type.
It is concluded that DMSO causes glucose and galactose to become sufficiently fat-soluble to bypass carrier mediation.
