An important source of physiological energy

Usage examples of glucose.

This central nervous system stimulant, used by more than eighty million Americans, is the only food ingredient that actually mimics the stress response, giving you an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose availability to the brain that increases alertness.

The juice of Mulberries contains malic and citric acids, with glucose, pectin, and gum.

Ryan took plenty of liquids with extra glucose and fructose to help the muscles rehabilitate.

The trick was to observe the dog being treated carefully and, at the first hint of toxemia, stop the injections, give supportive treatment of calcium gluconate and infuse the dog with saline and glucose.

The glucose is not used up, however, because the liver is perfectly capable of breaking down its stored glycogen to glucose and delivering that into the bloodstream at a rate just calculated to replace the amount being abstracted by cells.

When the glucose supply is temporarily smaller than needed, as during fasting intervals, glycogen is broken down to glucose.

The glycogen was broken down to glucose, which poured into the bloodstream.

As far as its effect on carbohydrate metabolism is concerned, epinephrine resembles glucagon in hastening the breakdown of glycogen to glucose so that the blood level of glucose rises.

Just as glucagon mobilizes the glycogen reservoir in the liver, bringing about its breakdown to glucose, which pours into the blood, so the parathyroid hormone mobilizes the calcium stores in bone, bringing about its breakdown to calcium ions in solution, which pours into the blood.

The Mom-hackers had run the myoelectric power points off the battery, and as the muscles got depleted of stored glucose more and more power was required for activation.

Millar, are maltose and glucose, which latter is derived from the hydrolysis of the stable dextrin.

With a high-protein diet, vitamins, glucose and methionine, he might have had a chance.

It appears that as the thermostat tests the blood passing through for temperature so the appestat tests it for glucose content.

Many years previously, biochemists had shown that if you took a piece of animal tissue, say from the liver, cut very thin slices from it with a razor blade and immersed them in a blood-warm bath containing a proper mix of salts and glucose, the slices would go on behaving biochemically much as if they were still in the living body from which they had been removed.

By the action of dilute boiling acid on starch the latter is rapidly converted first into a mixture of dextrine and maltose and then into glucose.
