Abstract d‐Mannose is a C‐2 epimer of d‐glucose, which is a natural monosaccharide. It
can be obtained from both plants and microorganisms. Chemical synthesis and …

For most animals, feeding is an essential behavior for securing survival, and it influences
development, locomotion, health and reproduction. Ingestion of the right type and quantity of …

The formation and consolidation of memories are complex phenomena involving synaptic
plasticity, microcircuit reorganization, and the formation of multiple representations within …

Animal models have been widely used to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the
acute and long-term effects of alcohol exposure. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster …

Drosophila melanogaster has become a significant model organism for alcohol research. In
flies, a rich variety of behaviors can be leveraged for identifying genes affecting alcohol …

D-Mannose is an epimer of glucose at the C-2 position and exists in nature as a component
of mannan. It has 60 and 86% sweetness than that of sucrose and D-glucose, respectively …

Alcohol abuse and alcoholism incur a heavy socioeconomic cost in many countries. Both
genetic and environmental factors contribute to variation in the inebriating effects of alcohol …
