Example sentences for: methylglucose

How can you use “methylglucose” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In contrast, 3- O -methylglucose has little effect on 20:1 levels (Figure 2).

  • Mannose, but not 3- O -methylglucose, also inhibits lipid breakdown.

  • In many organisms, mannose has been shown to be a substrate for hexokinases whereas 3- O -methylglucose is metabolized poorly, if at all, by hexokinases [ 62 65 ] . As a result, processes that are affected by mannose but not by 3- O -methylglucose have been postulated to be regulated via a hexokinase-mediated pathway(s) [ 19 31 32 ] . By this logic, the fact that seed storage lipid breakdown is repressed by the presence of mannose but not by 3- O -methylglucose could also be interpreted to mean that inhibition of seed storage lipid breakdown occurs via a hexokinase-mediated pathway.

  • First, the extent to which mannose and 3- O -methylglucose are metabolized by hexokinases and other enzymes has yet to be determined for Arabidopsis.

  • 3- O -methylglucose is a glucose analog that, in at least some organisms, is transported by hexose transporters [ 61 62 63 64 ] but is phosphorylated very inefficiently, if at all, by hexokinases [ 62 ] . Seedlings grown on media containing 3- O -methylglucose have 20:1 levels that are similar to the 20:1 levels of plants grown on approximately equi-molar concentrations of sorbitol, but that are much lower than the 20:1 levels of plants grown on equi-molar concentrations of glucose (Figure 2).
