Application
D-Mannitol has been used:
- in osmotic loading to adjust the osmolarity of solutions
- as a component of test sugar solution for cellobiose-mannitol permeability test
- as an internal standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to compare/analyze the mannitol concentrations in urine samples
- to treat the control cells and regulate the osmotic pressure of high glucose
D-mannitol has been used as a hydroxyl radical scavenger and as a medium supplement.
Biochem/physiol Actions
A sugar alcohol sweet tastant. Used in sweetness inhibition studies.
D-Mannitol may play an important role in lipolysis and fat oxidation as it can enhance the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC). It serves as an anti-obesity supplement. D-Mannitol stimulates the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which regulate lipid metabolism in the liver.
General description
D-Mannitol, a naturally occurring six-carbon sugar alcohol or polyol, is found in plants such as algae, onions, grasses, and olives. It is considered safe due to its relatively lower glycemic index than sucrose.

Surface-sterilized oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum were applied to subconfluent monolayers of human adenocarcinoma (HCT-8) cells grown on coverslips in six-well cluster plates. Parasite-infected cultures were then incubated in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum, 15 mM HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid)

Bronchiectasis is characterised by excessive production of mucus and pulmonary exacerbations. Inhaled osmotic agents may enhance mucociliary clearance, but few long-term clinical trials have been conducted. To determine the impact of inhaled mannitol on exacerbation rates in patients with non-cystic
