Component

Trehalose

Trehalose. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

  1. Steady-state pool sizes of glucose and metabolic intermediates including adenine nucleotides and end products revealed no differences between adult Haemonchus contortus resistant or susceptible to benzimidazoles, all three strains had similar levels of total lipid, protein and free amino acid and produced a similar sum total of end products, and although the mebendazole-resistant strain showed a diversion of carbon flow to the ethanol-producing pathway and greater cyanide-sensitive aerobic carbon dioxide output, the extent to which these metabolic differences may be related to benzimidazole resistance is not readily apparent.

    Biochemical comparison of susceptible, mebendazole-resistant and thiabendazole-resistant Haemonchus contortus in vitro

    Steady-state metabolite pools, end products and labelled carbon dioxide over 30 to 60 minute and 18 hour incubations

    A broad metabolic survey across matched resistant and susceptible strains. Its own authors state the relationship to resistance is not apparent.
    nutrient_topic
    Mebendazole research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct clinical effect, and mebendazole is recorded separately from albendazole, from the benzimidazole class and from its own crystal forms. · Mebendazole
    organism
    Nematode
    plain_language
    Resistant and susceptible worms handle sugar much the same, so metabolism is not where resistance lives.
