Polyol concentrations were determined by selected-ion monitoring in 10 sample sets taken before dialysis and hourly for 4 h during dialysis. Predialysis concentrations (mumol/L) exceeding the upper limit of normal (mean + 2 SD; n = 33) were found for erythritol (25.4-59.0), threitol (11.5-46.7), and arabinitol (21.0-49.3) in all 10 cases; mannitol (2.7-62.0) in nine cases; and xylitol (0.7-1.3)...

an increase in the red cell's normal substrate, glucose, can produce changes in red cell metabolism.

We report the effect of a polyol-mediated annealing on nickel ferrite nanoparticles. By combining X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, diffraction, and 57 Fe Mössbauer spectrometry, we showed that whereas as-prepared nanoparticles (NFO) are stoichiometric, annealed ones (a-NFO) not, since Ni 0 -based crystals precipitate. Nickel depletion from spinel lattice reduction in polyol solvent accompanied ...

Simple approaches to synthesize hybrid nanoparticles with magnetic and plasmonic functionalities, with high control of their shape and avoiding cytotoxic reactants, to target biomedical applications remain a huge challenge. Here, we report a facile, fast and bio-friendly microwave-assisted polyol route for the synthesis of a complex multi-material consisting of monodisperse gold nanotriangles a...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common and significant health problem which may be treatable with dietary interventions. Here we aim to explain the principles of the low Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides and Polyol diet, and discuss both the limitations and opportunities of the diet in those with IBS, a common cause of presentation to primary and secondary care in New Zealand.

We report Pt-Pd nanoparticles synthesized by means of a polyol process with glycerol as a reducing agent. The Pt-Pd nanoparticles exhibit dominantly exposed {111} facets in octahedral shape with complete alloy formation between Pt and Pd. Furthermore, the octahedral Pt-Pd alloy catalysts show improved catalytic activity and stability in methanol electrooxidation.

Electrokinetic probes based on the differential migration of ternary boronate ester complexes permit the selective analysis of micromolar levels of UV-transparent polyol stereoisomers in urine samples via dynamic complexation-capillary electrophoresis that is applicable to single-step screening of in-born errors of sugar metabolism, such as galactosemia.
