Rizk, M.D., from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and colleagues developed a new biomarker, VFI, consisting of a 150-kD rhodamine derivative and 5-kD fluorescein carboxymethylated
dextrans. VFI-based mGFR values were compared with values obtained by measuring iohexol plasma disappearance in a study involving 16 adults with normal kidney function, eight with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3, and eight with CKD stage 4.
Due to their unique properties that can regulate the rheological behavior of the final product,
dextrans have been used in manufacturing [12].
Dextrans (Mw 5 kDa, Mw 10 kDa, Mw 20 kDa, and Mw 40 kDa), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, AR), sodium hydride (NaH, 60%), potassium bromide (KBr), carbon disulfide (CS2, AR) and phase transfer catalyst (PTC) tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB, AR) were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co.
Small (<4 kDa) fluorescent
dextrans introduced into artificial seawater readily penetrate into the animal between the cells.
Phase transitions of dairy proteins,
dextrans and their mixtures as a function of water interactions.
Among IV iron formulations, iron isomaltoside, ferric carboxymaltose, and the iron
dextrans (IDs) can be administered in total dose infusion (TDI).
They discovered a new strain of bacteria that converts the sugars in bread dough to
dextrans. The bacteria could be marketed to home and commercial bakers as a sourdough starter, or enhancer for other types of bread.
Fluorescein-labeled
dextrans were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St.
Maija Tenkanen, and her team discovered and used of a new strain of bacteria that convert the sugars in bread dough into produce
dextrans (sugar molecules linked together into long chains that enhance the texture and taste of the sourdough and help keep the bread fresh).

Sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose: Safer intravenous iron therapy than iron
dextrans. American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 33, 464-470.
AusAm designed DES6 to retain the potent antiviral activity of sulfated
dextrans, while reducing or eliminating some known mechanisms of toxicity and improving stability in vivo.
