Where Epigenetics Meets Food Intake: Their Interaction In The Development/Severity Of Gout And Therapeutic Perspectives, Philippe T. Georgel, Philippe Georgel
Biological Sciences Faculty Research
Gout is the most frequent form of inflammatory arthritis in the world. Its prevalence is particularly elevated in specific geographical areas such as in the Oceania/Pacific region and is rising in the US, Europe, and Asia. Gout is a severe and painful disease, in which co-morbidities are responsible for a significant reduction in life expectancy. However, gout patients remain ostracized because the disease is still considered “self-inflicted”, as a result of unhealthy lifestyle and excessive food and alcohol intake. While the etiology of gout flares is clearly associated with the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposits, several major questions …

Characterization Of A Fluorescent Glucose Derivative 1-Nbdg And Its Application In The Identification Of Natural Sglt1/2 Inhibitors, Ting-Yu Kao, Hwa-Wei Wu, Shoei-Sheng Lee, Pi-Hui Liang, Jih-Hwa Guh, Lih-Ching Hsu
Journal of Food and Drug Analysis
Glucose is an important energy source for cells. Glucose transport is mediated by two types of glucose transporters: the active sodium-coupled glucose cotransporters (SGLTs), and the passive glucose transporters (GLUTs). Development of an easy way to detect glucose uptake by the cell can be valuable for research. 1-(N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino)-1-deoxy-D-glucose (1-NBDG) is a newly synthesized fluorescent glucose analogue. Unlike 2-NBDG, which is a good substrate of GLUTs but not SGLTs, 1-NBDG can be transported by both GLUTs and SGLTs. Thus, 1-NBDG is useful for the screening of SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitors. Here we further characterized 1-NBDG and compared it …
