Lethal effects of D-mannose in the honeybee have been recognized for more than 50 yr. Another toxic effect of D-mannose was observed during culture of rat embryos from the early head-fold stage to the 26-29-somite stage (days 9.5-11.5 of gestation). Addition to culture mediums of 1.5 mg of D-mannose/ml caused growth retardation and faulty neural-tube closure in approximately 2/3 of the embryos. Mannose effects occurred during the first 24 h of culture and were attended by modest inhibition of the glycolysis that constitutes the principal energy pathway at this stage of development. Adding more glucose to preserve glycolytic flux or increasing atmospheric O2 to promote oxidative metabolism offset the mannose teratogenesis. Metabolic vulnerabilities exist during early organogenesis, before oxidative flexibility is established. Findings may serve as a model to explain the teratogenicity of many other seemingly unrelated agents that could act by perturbing glycolysis at this vulnerable stage.
