Glucose has several disadvantages such as low pH, high osmolality and hyperglycemia. Rapid glucose absorption contributes to hyperlipidemia, obesity and ultrafiltration failure in peritoneal dialysis patients. Two commercially available plasma substitutes 10% hydroxyethylstarch (HES) and 6% dextran were studied for ultrafiltration and absorption patterns. 18 ml of each solution were instilled into the peritoneal cavity of 6 non-uremic rats. HES yielded a significantly (p less than 0.02) greater ultrafiltration after 6 h of dwell, whereas 2.3% glucose solution showed the typical ultrafiltration pattern of an easily absorbable osmotic agent. With 6% dextran ultrafiltration was markedly lower. At the end of cycle time the mean absorption rates for HES were 62.7% and 41.5% for dextran. It is concluded that HES is a potent osmotic agent due to sustained colloidal ultrafiltration. However, despite their high molecular weights both solutions were markedly absorbed probably by lymphatics. However, accumulation in tissues and undefined metabolic pathways might prove disadvantageous in patients with ESRD.

A series of hydrophilic copolymers were prepared using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and itaconic acid (IA) from free radical polymerization at different feed monomer ratios using ammonium persulfate (APS) initiators in water at 70 °C. The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) was grafted to Poly(HEMA--IA) by a condensation reaction. The hydrolysis of the polymeric release system, Poly(HEMA--IA)-2,4-D, demonstrated that the release of the herbicide in an aqueous phase depends on the polymeric system's pH value and hydrophilic character.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to extract and identify peptides from wheat germ protein that can lower cholesterol levels.
- Wheat germ protein was treated with various enzymes, and the most effective hydrolysate was isolated and tested for its ability to bind cholesterol and resist digestion.
- Three specific peptides were identified as effective in lowering cholesterol, showing significant solubility in cholesterol micelles, highlighting their potential use in functional foods.
Transcellular transport of F-deoxyglucose via facilitative glucose channels in experimental peritoneal dialysis.

Background: Local and systemic side effects of glucose remain major limitations of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Glucose transport during PD is thought to occur via inter-endothelial pathways, but recent results show that phloretin, a general blocker of facilitative glucose channels (glucose transporters [GLUTs]), markedly reduced glucose diffusion capacity indicating that some glucose may be transferred via facilitative glucose channels (GLUTs). Whether such transport mainly occurs into (absorption), or across (trans-cellular) peritoneal cells is as yet unresolved.
