The results of developing a semiautomatic apparatus with oxygen detection for enzymatic control of glucose concentration are presented. The design of a glucose sensitive electrode is based on an oxygen probe and a membrane with immobilized glucose oxidase. Materials for the probe were chosen and the operating conditions for measuring temperature, pH, linear agitation velocity and other parameters were optimized. The semiautomatic analyzer was constructed and its main characteristics were studied. The results of the apparatus testing during biosynthesis of various antibiotics are presented. It was shown that the required glucose concentration in the cultivation medium was provided for any specific circumstances in relation to the carbohydrate source.

This study aimed to elucidate the impact of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and glucose shock on cardiomyocyte viability, gene expression, cardiac biomarkers, and cardiac contractility. Firstly, AGEs were generated in-house, and their concentration was confirmed using absorbance measurements. AC16 cardiomyocytes were then exposed to varying doses of AGEs, resulting in dose-dependent decreases in cell viability.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTendinopathy is an age-associated degenerative disease characterized by a loss in extracellular matrix (ECM). Since glucose and glutamine metabolism is critical to amino acid synthesis and known to be altered in aging, we sought to investigate if age-related changes in metabolism are linked to changes in ECM remodeling. We exposed young and aged tendon explants to various concentrations of glucose and glutamine to observe changes in metabolic processing (enzyme levels, gene expression, etc.

Multi-targeted therapies are gaining attention in the management of multifactorial diseases due to their poly pharmacology, enhanced potency and reduced toxicity. Metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity necessitate multi-targeted therapy to improve insulin sensitivity, regulate glucose homeostasis and support weight loss. Medicinal plants rich in bioactive compounds exhibit multi-targetted action with minimal side effects.

Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication of diabetes. Due to conservative or delayed treatment, the majority of DFU patients frequently miss the optimal treatment window, thereby leading to amputation. Despite being a rare pathogen with low virulence, () exhibits some antibiotic resistance and can be fatal for immunocompromised patients.

Stable isotope analysis has become a valuable tool for studying food chain processes and verifying the authenticity and geographical origin of typical products. The analysis is particularly important for those foods with geographical indications, such as Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena labelled with the protected designation of origin mark (ABTM PDO) and Aceto Balsamico di Modena with the protected geographical indication (ABM PGI). Understanding how the aging process affects the isotopic composition of specific compounds in ABTM is important for distinguishing between traditional and non-traditional products, as well as for verifying their authenticity.
