Amine and Hegsted (1971) obtained similar carbohydrate effects studying iron absorption. Glucose is the most commonly used source of dietary carbohydrate in semipurified diets. Pennell et al. (1976) reported that beta-lactose in place of sucrose reduced the relative biological value of iron as sodium iron pyrophosphate when fed to rats. However, alpha-lactose or glucose in place of the sucrose did not affect the bioavailability of this iron source. Similarly, the source of fat can affect the bioavailability of dietary iron but, the level of dietary fat has no effect (Mahoney et al., 1980). 

One important area of current research is on the recognition of carbohydrates. In particular, cell surface carbohydrates have implications in various disease states. In some forms of cancer, closely packed cell surface carbohydrates effect cancer progression and invasiveness. Many of these carbohydrates have terminal sialic acid groups. The pinwheel receptor 42 was designed as a divalent receptor for anionic sugars including sialic acid with a view toward making sensors for cancer markers. Sensor 42 used a boronic acid to bind a diol on the...
