Example sentences for: sorbitol

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

Interestingly, sorbitol can also inhibit seed storage lipid breakdown.
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).
In addition, the effects of sorbitol on seedling growth appear less specific than the effects of glucose, as 0.4 M sorbitol + 0.03 M glucose exerts a similar effect on storage lipid breakdown as 0.3 M glucose, but has a significantly greater effect on accumulation of membrane lipids.
Both 0.3 M Glc and 0.4 M sorbitol + 0.03 M Glc also retard seed germination rates (Figure 4).
High concentrations of glucose or sorbitol almost eliminate breakdown of seed storage lipids
