Abstract
Mannose in N-linked oligosaccharides is assumed to be derived primarily from glucose through phosphomannose isomerase (PMI). The discovery of mammalian mannose-specific transporters that function at physiological concentrations suggested that mannose might directly contribute to oligosaccharide synthesis. To determine the relative contribution of glucose and mannose, human fibroblasts were labeled with either [2-3H]mannose or [1,5,6-3H]glucose at the same specific activity, and the N-linked chains were released by PNGase F digestion. Most of the trichloroacetic acid-precipitable [3H]mannose label was released by this digestion, but only about 10% of the trichloroacetic acid-precipitable material was released from cells labeled with [1,5,6-3H]glucose. Both sugars labeled a similar array of oligosaccharides, and acid hydrolysis of these chains showed that [2-3H]mannose contributed 65-75% of the [3H]mannose in cells labeled for 1 h, despite the 100-fold higher concentration of exogenous glucose. Mannose consumption and [2-3H]mannose utilization were within the range of rates expected for mannose transport via the mannose-specific transporter. About 7-14% of the [2-3H]mannose is used for glycosylation, while the rest (86-93%) is catabolized to 3H2O via PMI. Increasing the exogenous mannose concentration beyond mannose transporter saturation results in the conversion of >99% of [2-3H]mannose into 3H2O. Long term labeling of cells with [2-3H]mannose showed that the specific activity of mannose in glycoproteins reached 77% of the specific activity of [2-3H]mannose added to the medium. These results show that when fibroblasts are provided with physiological concentrations of mannose, they use the mannose-specific transporter to supply the majority of mannose needed for glycoprotein synthesis. PMI may normally be used to catabolize excess mannose rather than to primarily supply Man-6-P for glycoprotein synthesis.

Abstract
Gas chromatography/mass fragmentography was applied to measure sugars in the plasma of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The isotope-dilution technique was used in the calculation of 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG), whereas reductive deuterization of the samples and regression analysis of the reduction products were used to calculate the concentrations of mannose, fructose and mannitol. The concentrations of mannose and glucose were closely and positively correlated both in insulin-dependent (IDDM; r = 0.74, P = 0.001) and non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM; r = 0.89, P = 0.001) DM. The close correlation was also encountered in serial samples taken from patients with widely fluctuating plasma glucose concentrations. The mannose/glucose ratio was increased in NIDDM (P = 0.007). The concentration of 1,5-AG was decreased in both types of DM, but more markedly in IDDM. The concentration was negatively correlated with glucose concentration (r = 0.071, P = 0.02) and HbAtc (r = 0.84, P = 0.001) in NIDDM. It was postulated that both mannose and glucose, by competing with 1,5-AG of renal tubular sugar carrier sites, contribute to the high urinary excretion of 1,5-anhydroglucitol leading to depletion of the sugar in the diabetic organism. The high concentrations of circulating mannose suggested further that the contribution of mannose to the adverse effects of hyperglycaemia should be examined. The study demonstrated that parallel use of the isotope-dilution and reductive deuterization techniques is quite useful in the analysis of monosaccharides in biological fluids.

Abstract
Cells from primary rat astrocyte cultures express a 36.5 kDa protein that cross-reacts with polyclonal antibodies to the catalytic subunit of rat hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase on Western blotting. Glucose-6-phosphate-hydrolysing activity of the order of 10 nmol/min per mg of total cellular protein can be demonstrated in cell homogenates. This activity shows latency, and is localized to the microsomal fraction. Kinetic analysis shows a Km of 15 mM and a Vmax. of 30 nmol/min per mg of microsomal protein in disrupted microsomes. Approx. 40% of the total phosphohydrolase activity is specific glucose-6-phosphatase, as judged by sensitivity to exposure to pH 5 at 37 degrees C. Previous reports that the brain microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase system does not distinguish glucose 6-phosphate and mannose 6-phosphate are confirmed in astrocyte microsomes. However, we demonstrate significant phosphomannose isomerase activity in brain microsomes, allowing for ready interconversion between mannose 6-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate (Vmax. 15 nmol/min per mg of microsomal protein; apparent Km < 1 mM; pH optimum 5-6 for the two-step conversion). This finding invalidates the past inference from the failure of brain microsomes to distinguish mannose 6-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate that the cerebral glucose-6-phosphatase system lacks a 'glucose 6-phosphate translocase' [Fishman and Karnovsky (1986) J. Neurochem. 46, 371-378]. Furthermore, light-scattering experiments confirm that a proportion of whole brain microsomes is readily permeable to glucose 6-phosphate.

Abstract
We previously infused the D-glucose epimer D-mannose into pregnant rats to deliver a brief metabolic insult to the early postimplantation conceptus. This insult caused developmental anomalies and growth retardation that were apparent in the embryos 2 days later. We now report the long-range effects on intrauterine development of such a circumscribed metabolic insult during organogenesis. Ten pregnant animals were infused with D-mannose for 12 hours during early neurulation (day 9.5 to 10 of development). Ten control animals were infused with equimolar D-glucose during this same time interval. Mannose infusions produced maternal plasma mananose concentrations in the embryotoxic range; glucose infusions caused only slight and transient hyperglycemia. Fetuses were removed at term and examined for evidence of developmental anomalies and growth retardation. None of 137 fetuses from the mannose group or 138 fetuses from the glucose group exhibited gross anomalies. However, an excess of resorbed conceptions in the mannose group (21 versus six in the glucose group; p less than 0.01) suggested some lethal toxicity from mannose exposure during embryogenesis. Among viable fetuses, the mean body weight of those from the mannose group was significantly reduced compared with those from the glucose group (5.62 +/- 0.04 versus 5.89 +/- 0.03 gm, respectively; p less than 0.001). Reductions of a similar magnitude were noted in the mean wet weight and protein content of fetal brains, hearts, livers, and kidneys from the mannose group (range, 3.4% to 7.1% below the glucose group), indicating a symmetric pattern of fetal growth retardation. In addition, analysis of fetal ossification sites after Alizarin Red S staining revealed a significant delay of skeletal development in the mannose group. These results indicate that a relatively brief metabolic insult to embryos during early organogenesis may cause lethal developmental anomalies as well as growth retardation and delayed skeletal development that are manifested in the fetus at term.

Abstract
The unique embryotoxic properties of D-mannose have been used as the basis for a new technique to secure precise temporal correlations between metabolic perturbations during organogenesis and subsequent dysmorphogenesis. Conscious, pregnant rats were infused with D-mannose or equimolar amounts of D-glucose by "square wave" delivery during the interval in which the neural plate is established and early fusion of neural folds takes place, that is, days 9.5-10.0 of gestation. Infusions of mannose to maternal plasma levels of 150-200 mg/dl did not elicit any toxicity in the mothers: motor activity, eating behavior, and serum components (electrolytes, osmolality, bilirubin) did not differ in glucose- vis-à-vis mannose-infused dams. Embryos were excised by hysterotomy on day 11.6 for evaluation of development. Examination with a dissecting microscope did not disclose developmental abnormalities in any of the 136 embryos from glucose-infused mothers or in 62 additional embryos from mothers that had not received any infusions. By contrast, dysmorphic changes were seen in 17 of 191 embryos (8.9%) from mannose-infused mothers. 14 of the 17 had abnormal brain or neural tube development with incomplete neural tube closure in 9 instances. Abnormal axial rotation was present in 8 of the 191 embryos (4.2%) and lesions of the heart or optic vesicles were seen in 4 (2.1%) and 3 (1.6%), respectively. Embryos from mannose-infused mothers displayed significant retardations in somite number, crown-rump length, and total protein and DNA content. These stigmata of growth retardation were more marked in the 17 dysmorphic embryos. The experiments indicate that D-mannose may be employed in model systems with rodents for precisely timed interruptions of organogenesis in vivo. Initial applications are consistent with our earlier suggestion that multiple dysmorphic changes may supervene after interference with communally observed metabolic dependencies during organogenesis. The studies do not identify the vulnerable site(s) within the conceptus (e.g., investing membranes, embryos, or both). However, the findings suggest that dysmorphic events are manifest most markedly in a general setting of embryo growth retardation.

Abstract
The interaction between glucose and galactose during transport across the cerebral capillary endothelium was studied in anesthetized rats. Although galactose is present in the diet of suckling mammals and is a potential substrate for brain metabolism in adult mammals, its effect on glucose transport in adult rats is unknown. A kinetic model was formulated to analyze the effect of chronically elevated galactose levels on glucose transport in adult rats. The analysis indicated that galactose and glucose compete for the same transport mechanism in the cerebral capillary endothelium. The Tmax of glucose and galactose were both about 380 mumol 100 g-1 min-1 and the Kt of galactose (30 mM) was about three times that of glucose (10 mM). During prolonged galactosemia in adult rats, neither the Tmax, nor the Kt of either competitor changed substantially when compared with rats subjected to acute galactosemia. At 10 mM galactose in plasma in rats with acute galactosemia, the inhibition of glucose transport, simulated a 25% reduction of plasma glucose, and in rats with chronic galactosemia a 20% reduction. This moderate effect is in contrast to the effect of galactose in suckling rats in which 10 mM galactose in plasma reduced the glucose transport to a level corresponding to a 50% reduction of the plasma glucose concentration.

Abstract
Unilateral cerebral hypoxia-oligemia was produced in anesthetized mice using carotid artery occlusion combined with systemic hypoxia (10% O2). In the cerebral cortex ipsilateral to the carotid occlusion, ATP levels were depleted during a 30-min insult, but were restored to 64% of control during 60 min of recovery. Pretreatment of animals with glucose diminished the restoration of ATP in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, when blood glucose levels exceeded 12-13 mM (225 mg/dl), ATP recovery was greatly impaired. Neither galactose nor 3-O-methylglucose mimicked the detrimental effect of glucose. However, pretreatment with mannose, which is readily metabolized by brain, impaired restoration of ATP. The impairment, therefore, appears to be specific for substrates of cerebral metabolism. The ischemic accumulation of lactate in the ipsilateral cortex was augmented by only 30% at blood glucose levels well above the threshold for ATP recovery. Thus, unless recovery of energy metabolism is sensitive to small increments in brain lactate, it is difficult to explain the glucose-induced energy failure on the basis of enhanced lactic acidosis. Ipsilateral cerebral blood flow (CBF), measured with [14C]iodoantipyrine during hypoxia and recovery, was lower in glucose-pretreated than in saline-pretreated animals. However, the poor correlation between CBF and ATP, measured in the same tissue samples at 15 min recovery, failed to substantiate that regeneration of ATP was flow-limited early in recovery.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates distinct distribution patterns of glycoproteins in rat hippocampus, with respect to synthesis from precursors (autoradiography) and endogenous contents (lectin binding). The autoradiographic analysis performed 1, 2, 8 and 24 h after intraventricular injections of tritium-labelled L-fucose. N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-mannose revealed that up to 2 h after application of any of the three precursors, radioactivity occurred in the pyramidal and granular cell layers. Afterwards, however, rapid migration of label proceeded from the cell bodies into the neuropil after application of fucose and acetylglucosamine, while after injection of mannose a considerable amount of radioactivity stayed in the cell body layers, even 24 h after administration of labelled precursor. These findings were consistent with the histochemical visualization of glycoprotein constituents by fluorescent wheat germ lectin (preferentially binding to glucosaminyl residues) and concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase (preferentially binding to mannosyl residues). These showed a heavy staining predominantly in neuropil and somata, respectively, with concanavalin A-binding giving more distinct patterns than the application of labelled mannose. The usefulness of the three glycoprotein precursors as correlates with functional behavioural changes in discussed.
