Glucose indicator

H D-glucose Actively transported via the Na+/D-glucose co-transporter Steady-state permeability values for D-glucose indicate that active transport processes are operational (typically at concentration >100 mM). At low concentrations (e.g. 1 mM), absorption is assumed to be ABL controlled and hence at these concentration can serve as marker for resistance of the ABL...

Wood and coworkers have repeated this work with C. When isotopic NaHC Os was administered, the liver glycogen was found to contain excess C . After conversion of the isotopic glycogen to n-glu-cose, degradation of the resulting n-glucose indicated that carbons 3 or 4 were isotopic (Fig. 6). Furthermore, the concentration of C was the same in both carbons. Lorber and coworkers carried out the same type... 

Molecular weights determined by physical methods show that there are up to a million D-glucose units per molecule. Yet hydrolysis of methylated amylopectin gives as high as 5% of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose, indicating only 20 units per chain. How can these facts be reconciled by the same structure ... 

Furthermore, GOD was assembled on this AuNP/SWNT-IL composite through ionic interaction. This composite provides an excellent microenvironment and accelerates electron transfer between GOD and electrode because of the presence of IL and nanotube. The resultant GOD-modified electrode exhibits an excellent electrocatalytic activity to the reduction of glucose, indicating the potential to construct a novel glucose biosensor [145]. Hou et al. [173] also employed the HEHimCl-functionalized MWCNTs as a support to fabricate the Au/MWCNT-IL hybrid in which the IL layer acts as interlinkers. 

Electron microscopy studies of actomyosin that have been frozen and stored in the presence of 1M glucose indicate that glucose is essentially as effective as MSG (132). 

H]- and 6,6-[ H2]-D-glucose indicated that oxidation of 6-position of the glucose and fructose occurs during the biosynthesis.
