D-ribose, a distinctive kind of sugar inborn in the human body, plays a significant role in creating ATP – the main energy source for our cells. As we grow older, the production of D-ribose ...

The nature of the sugar or substance contributing the aldehyde groups essential for these reactions was not ascertained. The present investigation indicates that ribose is responsible.

This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. The word adenosine refers to the adenine plus the ribose sugar. The bond between the second and ...

DNA and RNA use the same five-carbon sugar, ribose, in their structure. The deoxy- means that on one side of the base pair, there's a place where another base pair can attach itself by way of a ...

Adenosine is created naturally within the body from the combination adenine, a nitrogen-based substance, and ribose, a sugar. In addition to being a neurotransmitter, adenosine is classified as a ...

An additive -- glycerol -- can trigger toxic effects in young children. A new study warns parents to keep kids under four from drinking slush ice drinks that contain glycerol, an additive used to ...

Increased thirst, fatigue, and frequent urination are some symptoms of a blood sugar spike. Eating a balanced diet, following your diabetes management plan, and exercising may help prevent spikes.

When your blood sugar levels fall within the recommended ranges, it’s a sign your diabetes treatment and management plan is working. You and your doctor can determine your exact blood sugar targets.

These cancers are, however, quite sensitive to anticancer drugs such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). When successful, these cancer treatments cause enough DNA damage to trigger ...

Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...

Such interplay is seen with ADP-ribosylation and ubiquitylation. For example, DELTEX E3 ligases were reported to ubiquitylate a hydroxyl group on free NAD + and ADP-ribose in vitro, generating a ...
