Possible Interaction: Mannitol and Xylose

“In tests using adults, arabinose, galactose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol , mannose, melibiose, ribose, sorbitol, trehalose, and xylose significantly reduced mean day survival.”

“ Xylose uptake measured in the presence of insulin (0.1 U/ml) was depressed when muscles were exposed to concentrations of mannitol greater than 100 mM. This effect was not reversible; xylose uptake remained depressed when these muscles were transferred to an isotonic medium.”
