| dc.description.abstract | Dulcitol (galactitol) is a hexitol belonging to the class of carbohydrates known as polyols, sugar alcohols, or glycitols. In recent years the knowledge of polyol metabol-ism in microorganisms has increased considerably although little is yet known about the biosynthesis and intermediary metabolism of these compounds in plants. Evidence has also accumulated showing that polyols may be normal intermediates in the intermediary metabolism of mammals (1). Polyols have also been implicated in pathological conditions in mammals (2,3). Table I lists some polyols, in order of increasing chain length, which occur in many varied organisms (4). | |
