During fermentative growth, Escherichia coli degrades carbohydrates via the glycolytic route into two pyruvate molecules. Pyruvate can be reduced to lactate or nonoxidatively cleaved by pyruvate formate lyase into acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and formate. Acetyl-CoA can be utilized for energy cons

The FAEES/carboxylesterase enzyme nonoxidatively metabolizes alcohol into FAEEs, potentially toxic molecules linked with alcohol-induced end-organ damage. Our laboratory has isolated and characterized a FAEES/carboxylesterase cDNA from human eye and heart (G12). In an effort to further characterize

PURPOSE: To investigate the occurrence of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed oxidatively (pentosidine and N(epsilon)-carboxymethyl lysine [CML]) or nonoxidatively (imidazolone) in human lenses and the relation of AGEs to lens coloration, cataract type, and patients' diabetic state.SETTING
