Enzymatic determination of D-mannose in serum.
نویسنده
چکیده
A new and simple enzymatic assay for measuring D-mannose in serum is described. Endogenous glucose is eliminated from serum by use of glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4) and catalase (EC 1.11.1.6). D-Mannose concentration is calculated from the increase in NADH formation after mannosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.8) is added. This increase is a result of coupling the following series of enzymes: hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), glucosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49, NAD+-dependent). The study included subjects who were healthy volunteers and patients with suspected or proven fungal infections.

Enzymatic assay of D-mannose in serum.
We describe a new and improved enzymatic assay for determining the concentration of D-mannose in sera. Serum D-glucose is selectively converted to glucose-6 phosphate with the highly specific thermostable glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2) from Bacillus stearothermophilus. The anionic reaction products and excess substrates are removed by a rapid and simple anion-exchange chromatography step in microcent...
متن کاملEnzymatic determination of unbound D-mannose in serum.
Mannose is an aldohexose component of a number of glycoproteins in cellular membranes and blood plasma. Free (unbound) mannose is a normal blood plasma constituent and its concentration is elevated in diabetes mellitus and chronic glomerulonephritis. We devised an enzymatic method for the determination of free mannose in which mannose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate and measured spectrophot...

BACKGROUND: The early stage of Copper poisoning is difficult to be clinically diagnosed in sheep and has not been documented clearly yet. OBJECTIVES: To assess biomarkers in predicting early Copper poisoning in sheep, blood samples were collected from several groups of animals from a naturally Copper poisoning occurrence in an industrial region. METHODS: Animals were divided into four experimen...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of arabinitol and mannose by gas-liquid chromatography in experimental candidiasis.
A method is described for the simultaneous quantitation of D-arabinitol and D-mannose in serum by gas-liquid chromatography as an aid for the diagnosis of disseminated candidiasis. Both variables were observed as per-O-acetylated aldononitrile derivatives in each chromatographic run of sera from immunosuppressed rabbits experimentally infected with Candida albicans 3181A.
