Possible Interaction: Glucose and Glycerol

“In very premature infants, parenteral glycerol enhances gluconeogenesis and attenuates time dependent decrease in glucose production.”

“Calculation of peritoneal reflection coefficients for glycerol and glucose showed lower values for glycerol compared to glucose (0.03 vs 0.04, calculated with both the convection and the diffusion models).”

“After glucose ingestion , the changes in glycerol concentrations differed significantly between the three compartments (P < 0.0001).”

“ Glycerol Ra was closely correlated with its conversion and contribution to glucose.”

“Rates of glycerol turnover and fat oxidation, and plasma glycerol concentrations were lower with the high than the low rate of glucose infusion , and lower than values reported by others during fasting or glucose infusion.”

“The calorific value of the absorbed osmotic agent was lower, by 19% with isotonic and 22% with hypertonic solutions, when glycerol was used in place of glucose.”

“ Oral glucose combined with glycerol was more effective in promoting glucose recovery in comparison with glucose alone, not only in rats but also in T1D patients.”

“Research in rats indicates that combining glycerol with glucose at a 3:1 ratio accelerates intestinal absorption of both glycerol and water, thereby potentially improving the efficacy of GIH.”

“Transcriptional downregulation in the presence of glycerol (compared to those in the presence glucose and cellobiose) was observed for several genes and operons that are positively regulated by glucose , including genes involved in glycolysis, N metabolism, and the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids.”

“A high concentration of glucose in the adipocyte culture promoted the basal rate of glycerol release and significantly enhanced the lipolytic action stimulated by either TNF-alpha or isoproterenol.”
