”Glycobiology is the study of the structure,
biosynthesis, biology and evolution of
saccharides (sugar chains or glycans) that are
widely distributed in nature, and the proteins
that recognize them”. – Essentials of
Glycobiology, second edition
Glycoproteins = saccharides attached to
proteines
Glycolipids = saccharides attached to lipids
Glycome= the entire complex of sugars
Glycomics= the study of glycomes
Glycosylation= enzymic attachment of sugars
Glycation= nonenzymic attachment of sugars

Most proteins contain sugars
Almost all plasma proteins except albumin
Proteins of cellular membranes
Some blood group substances
Certain hormones
Occur in most organisms
Many viruses
It is now established that saccharide chains
encode biologic information
Many studies have been conducted in an
attempt to define the precise function of these
sugars
Structural molecules
Transport molecules
Regulation of development
Immunologic molecules
Cell recognition- cell-to-cell communication
Until recently scientists believed that cell-to –
cell communication was fasciliated through
amino acids
Amino acids can link only in two ways; A and
B can link as, AB or BA
Sugars or monosaccharides are ring structures
which allows them to link with a virtually
infinite variety of combinations
Cells communicate via sugars

About 200 monosaccharides are found in
nature
Only 8 found in the sugar chains of
glycoporoteins
From a scientific point of view, one of the most
important medical text is found in....
Non-acetyl saccharides;

Glucose
Galactose
Mannose
Xylose
Fucose

N-acetyl saccharides

For a disease to develope there is definately a
defect in the sugar code
One letter is missing- the cellular alphabet is
not complete
The cells are unable to communicate properlywhich means that the glycosylation is
incomplete
Infection
Cancer
Other conditions
Prior to 1965 there were no papers discussing
nutritional carbohydrates or glyconutrients
Since 1965 over 20.000 papers have been
written on glyconutrients
The pharmaceutical companies have spent
countless millions researching individual
synthetic saccharides- but failed
Glyconutrients have been discussed recently in
a number of publications
”Glucose only theory”- your body converts
glucose via enzymes into all of the necessary
sugars
The Journal of Pediatrics, Nov.1998 Dr. Freeze
wrote that human ingestion studies show that
mannose is readily absorbed and incorporated
into glycoproteins via an active independent
pathway.
Made the glucose only theory suspicious

In December 1998 a radio labeling studyScientists tagged galactose, mannose, and
glucose
The study showed that galactose and mannose
were directly incorporated into human
glycoprotein without first being broken down
into glucose.
Several other studies demonstrated that
Glyconutrients could represent a new class of
nutrients
Are nutrients naturally available in our diet?
Nothing is better than getting your nutrients
through your food
Unfortunately studies conclude that our diet is
poor in nutrients
An argument against supplement use is that
many of the formulations on the market have
no clinical studies to support their claims
This is not true for glyconutrients
Absolutely essential for normal cellular process
Cellular immunity
Recognition and respons
Antibody function
Signaling and recruitment

First reported in 1980
Eight are now recognized
Range of clinical outcomes include death
Vast majority go undiagnosed
Contribute to many unexplained illnesses ,
including SIDS (crib death)
Glyconutritionals including mannose, fucose and
glucose, have been documented to be therapeutic
and even lifesaving

From scientific data thus far;
Asthma
Allergies
Bronchial anaphylaxis
Various inflammations
Infections
Cases of cancer
Glyconutrients can improve both the odds of
recovery and the quality of life in cancer
patients
Glyconutrients also enhance standard
chemotheraphy and radiation and ease their
side effects
Several glyconutrients have been tested on
sarcomas with promising results

The largest white blood cells in the body
Analyze and ingest pathogens
Perform vital regulatory functions
Specialized in the affairs of the surrounding tissue,
checking on the health of its cells
Glyconutrients boost the rate, speed, magnitude,
and precision of macrophage function
Increased ability to identify and destroy tumor
cells, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses
VIDEOANIMATION.....
Only glucose and galactose are present in large
amounts in the modren diet
All eight can be found in nature ;
Fungi
Human breast milk
Certain fruits and vegetables
Roots
Plants
Aloe Vera
Supplements (only one with all eight)
