“The transport system could be specific for glycerol and some analogous compounds with hydroxyl groups, since glycerol uptake was inhibited by some alcohols and compounds related to glycerol, such as 1,2-propanediol and glycerol 3-phosphpate.”

“Porcine blastocysts were exposed to 10% of ethylene glycol (EG), 1,2-propanediol (PD) or glycerol (GLY) for … degrees C) and then cultured in vitro for 24 h. The survival rates of blastocysts exposed to PD … GLY were significantly lower than those of … exposed to carrier solution without cryoprotectants.”
“Value-added compounds that can be produced from the electrochemical conversion of glycerol include glyceraldehyde, dihydroxyacetone, glycolic acid, glyceric acid, lactic acid, 1,2-propanediol , 1,3-propanediol, tartronic acid and mesoxalic acid.”
