Glucose-containing oligosaccharides in normal human urine.
Normal human urine was treated with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and the CPC-supernatant was passed through columns of Dowex 50 X 2 (H+ form) and Dowex 1 X 2(Cl-form) in succession. The concentrated effluent containing neutral saccharides was then gel-filtered through a column of Sephadex G-10. The resulting effluent was divided into 5 subfractions (SFs. 1-5). Comparison of hexose contents of the subfractions indicated that healthy individuals regularly excreted neutral oligosaccharides in urine with a similar pattern regardless of age or sex. Component A isolated from SF2 was characterized as glucosylgalactose by paper chromatography before and after acid hydrolysis of the intact one and its reduction product.
