Description

1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-a-D-galactopyranose is a pentaacetate of glucose. This compound is transported in the blood and extracellular fluids and has been shown to be a substrate for hexaacetate transport. The transport of this compound by hexaacetate has been shown to bypass the intracellular k+ concentration gradient. It has also been shown to have anti-diabetic effects in animals and humans. 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-a-D-galactopyranose can also be found in foods that contain beta d glucopyranoside (e.g., bananas). This compound is resistant to digestion and can be found in the stomach or intestines where it postulated to have an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth. 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-
