Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Xylitol decreases urea synthesis in normal rats.
JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition  •  1993  |  View Paper
The addition of urea reduced the time of conversion (tC) to 75 h (without nitrogen source addition tC > 127 h), and, consequently, improving the rates of xylitol bioproduction.
Applied biochemistry and biotechnology  •  2005  |  View Paper
In that situation, xylitol at 1.0 mmol/1 reduced neither urea synthesis nor alanine metabolism, whereas xylitol at 5.5 mmol/1 further reduced urea synthesis to 3.4 +/- mumol/(min.100 g) (n = 10, p < 0.05) and almost stopped alanine metabolism.
Thus xylitol , independently of glucose and hormonal responses, inhibited urea synthesis and alanine metabolism.
