(16) This was associated with an increase in intracellular glucose and decreases in aortic smooth muscle sorbitol and fructose consistent with an inhibition of aldose reductase.
(17) Production of radioactive CO2 from 14C-fructose administered intraperitoneally was studied in 18 male Wistar rats given food containing saccharose with calorific value of 0-56%.
(18) Since intestinal sodium absorption was so enhanced by an actively transported sugar, fructose and galactose perfusion fluids were prepared, and it was found that fructose was less well absorbed than glucose or galactose: in general, the results with these sugars were consistent with the sodium-dependent active transport of galactose and the passive transport of fructose, unrelated to sodium transport.
(19) Administration of different brain fuels--glucose, mannose, fructose, or the ketone beta-hydroxybutyrate--reduced hippocampal damage induced by coadministration of GCs and either of 2 different neurotoxins (kainic acid and 3-acetylpyridine).
(20) The concentrations of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate that gave 50% inhibition of rat muscle and liver enzymes were 6.3 and 1.5 microM, respectively.

(6) In four patients in acute attack and one in remission laevulose treatment was associated with a fall in delta-aminolaevulinate synthase activity, a rise in porphobilinogen deaminase and uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activities, and a fall in urinary prophyrin precursor excretion (P less than 0-001).
