Gas chromatographic analysis of lens monosaccharides
M Tomana, JT Prchal, LC Garner… - The Journal of …, 1984 - translationalres.com
Gas-liquid chromatography was employed to determine free monosaccharides in human,
rat, and South American rodent Octodon degu lenses. In addition to d-glucose, d-fructose,
sorbitol and myo-inositol, which were previously known to be components of lens tissue,
glycerol, erythritol, threitol, ribitol, xylitol, and mannitol were also detected in the lenses of
these three species. The concentrations in lenses of these three species were in the
following ranges: glycerol 1.2 to 40 μmol/gm wet tissue; myo-inositol 4 to 25; and glucose …
