Glucose is mainly metabolized by a very important ten-step pathway called glycolysis, the net result of which is to break down one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate ; this also produces a net two molecules of ATP, the energy currency of cells, along with two reducing equivalents in the form of converting NAD < sup >+</ sup > to NADH.

Glucose reacts with proteins throughout the body ; indeed, this is thought to be one, if not the primary, mechanism by which high glucose levels cause damage ( see Malliot reaction in cooking for a parallel ).

Glucose is the major energy source in most life forms.

Glucose concentrations are expressed as milligrams per deciliter ( mg / dL or mg / 100 mL ) in the United States, Japan, Spain, France, Belgium, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Colombia, while millimoles per liter ( mmol / L or mM ) are the units used in most of the rest of the world.

The available carbon sources are also important: Glucose inhibits penicillin production, whereas lactose does not.

Glucose and other carbohydrates are part of a wide variety of metabolic pathways across species: plants synthesize carbohydrates from atmospheric gases by photosynthesis storing the absorbed energy internally, often in the form of starch or lipids.

* Glucose or other carbohydrates can be given during an attack and may reduce the severity.

Glucose | D-glucose is an aldohexose with the formula ( C · H < sub > 2 </ sub > O )< sub > 6 </ sub >.

Glucose, like mannitol, is a sugar that can behave as an osmotic diuretic.

Glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions are just a few examples of molecules and ions that must efficiently get across the plasma membrane but to which the lipid bilayer of the membrane is virtually impermeable.

Glucose stimulates the production of insulin through food entering the bloodstream, which is grasped by the beta cells in the pancreas.

* Glucose loading test ( GLT )-screens for gestational diabetes ; if > 140 mg / dL, a glucose tolerance test ( GTT ) is administered ; a fasting glucose > 105 mg / dL suggests gestational diabetes.

After 2 hours a Glycemia less than 7. 8 mmol / L ( 140 mg / dl ) is considered normal, a glycemia of between 7. 8 to 11. 0 mmol / L ( 140 to 197 mg / dl ) is considered as Impaired Glucose Tolerance ( IGT ) and a glycemia of greater than or equal to 11. 1 mmol / L ( 200 mg / dl ) is considered Diabetes Mellitus.

* Blood glucose – Glucose is a simple sugar and the primary fuel for body cells.

* Glucose – a simple sugar which is the chief carbohydrate fuel in food.

Glucose and proteins are especially well resorbed, such that the presence of either is evidence of serious problems.

Glucose, C < sub > 6 </ sub > H < sub > 12 </ sub > O < sub > 6 </ sub >, was originally thought of as C < sub > 6 </ sub >( H < sub > 2 </ sub > O )< sub > 6 </ sub > and described as a carbohydrate, but this is a very poor description of its structure as known today.

Glucose is unique in that it can be used to produce ATP by all cells in both the presence and absence of molecular oxygen ( O < sub > 2 </ sub >).

Water is removed from the nephrons by osmosis ( and Glucose and other ions are pumped out with active transport ), gradually raising the concentration in the nephrons.

In the gut, for example, sodium is transported out of the reabsorbing cell on the blood ( interstitial fluid ) side via the Na < sup >+</ sup >- K < sup >+</ sup > pump, whereas, on the reabsorbing ( luminal ) side, the Na < sup >+</ sup >- Glucose symporter uses the created Na < sup >+</ sup > gradient as a source of energy to import both Na < sup >+</ sup > and glucose, which is far more efficient than simple diffusion.

Glucose found to be present in urine is an indication of diabetes mellitus.

Glucose is the body's primary fuel source and is essential for the brain's functioning.

Glucose reacts with oxygen in the following redox reaction, C < sub > 6 </ sub > H < sub > 12 </ sub > O < sub > 6 </ sub > + 6O < sub > 2 </ sub > → 6CO < sub > 2 </ sub > + 6H < sub > 2 </ sub > O, the carbon dioxide and water is a waste product and the chemical reaction is exothermic.

Glucose and sucrose are also found in varying quantities in various fruits, and indeed sometimes exceed the fructose present.

Glucose can exist in both a straight-chain and ring form.

Glucose concentrations expressed as mg / dL can be converted to mmol / L by dividing by 18. 0 g / dmol ( the molar mass of glucose ).

Glucose requirements above 10 mg / kg / minute in infants, or 6 mg / kg / minute in children and adults are strong evidence for hyperinsulinism.

Recently, several of these individuals found " dead in bed " were wearing Continuous Glucose Monitors, which provided a history of glucose levels prior to the fatal event.

The RF link also supports a continuous blood glucose sensor known as the Paradigm REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitor that wirelessly provides an interstitial glucose value every 5 minutes on the pump screen.

Glucose monomers can polymerize to form starches, glycogen or cellulose ; xylose monomers can polymerise to form xylan.

An OGTT ( Oral Glucose Tolerance Test ) can be normal or mildly abnormal in simple insulin resistance.

Glucose can be labeled with either stable or radioactive atoms.

Glucose metabolism anomalies are the cause of diabetes mellitus.

Mary Jane might not be the most intelligent woman, but she was one of the most determined.

She began to watch a blonde-haired man, also in shorts, standing right at the rear of the wrecked car in the one spot that most of the crowd had detoured slightly.

Col. Henri Garvier was one of New Orleans' most important and enlightened slave owners.

He proudly wore the blue livery of her house, for the girl was Madame Delphine Lalaurie, wife of the prominent surgeon, Dr. Louis Lalaurie, who bore one of the South's oldest and most cherished names.

She was a top horsewoman and one of the city's most gracious hostesses.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

Now we must become vague, for we are approaching one of the nation's most guarded secrets.

Presenting an individualized Negro character, it would seem, is one of the most difficult assignments a Southern writer could tackle ; ;

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

And it is precisely in this poorer economic class that one finds, and has always found, the most racial friction.

This sentence would have most of the characteristics of a question, but it has some of the characteristics of a statement because the questioner has conveyed the fact that he has no faith in his own timepiece or the one attached to his car.

While convalescing in his Virginia home he wrote a book recording his prison experiences and escape, entitled: They Shall Not Have Me Published originally in ( Helion's ) English by Dutton & Co. of New York, in 1943, the book was received by the press as a work of astonishing literary power and one of the most realistic accounts of World War 2, from the French side.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

Whether you experienced the passion of desire I have, of course, no way of knowing, nor indeed have I wished with even the most fleeting fragment of a wish to know, for the fact that one constitutes by one's mere existence so to speak the proof of some sort of passion makes any speculation upon this part of one's parents' experience more immodest, more scandalizing, more deeply unwelcome than an obscenity from a stranger.

For innocence, of all the graces of the spirit, is I believe the one most to be prayed for.

Moreover, because of the particular blot on your family escutcheon through what may only have been one unbridled moment on your grandmother's part, and because you had the lean-to kitchen and trundle bed of your childhood to outgrow, what you obviously most desired with both your conscious and unconscious person, what you bent your whole will, sensibility, and intelligence upon, was to be a lady.

She designed and supervised the building of the Harbert, Michigan, house, most of which was constructed by one local carpenter who carried the heavy beams singly upon his shoulder.

Perhaps it is only an analogy, but one of the most obvious differences between cheap fiction and fiction of an enduring quality is the development of a theme or story with leisure and anticipation.
