Description

General description

D-glucose, an aldohexose, possesses four chiral carbon atoms. It is an important product obtained from starch hydrolyzed by acid and/or enzymes.

Application

D-(+)-Glucose has been used:

• as a supplement in Dulbecco′s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS) for standardized serum bactericidal assay (SBA) using human complement
• as a component in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)-buffered Tyrode′s solution to treat the excised diaphragmatic specimens to assess the effect of osmolarity changes on the intrinsic lymphatic pumping mechanism
• to study the effect of restoring circulating glucose content in insulin-responsive neurons of rats
• for oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs)

Packaging

25, 500, 500 g

5 kg in poly drum

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucose, the universal energy source for all human cells, is the vital precursor for the production and conversion of several downstream carbohydrates. The uptake of glucose is a key indicator of cellular energy metabolism. Glucose infusion can block the release of oxytocin and vasopressin by insulin-induced hypoglycemia in humans.
