Glucose (Anti-Aging)

The only simple carbohydrate that circulates in the bloodstream. Glucose is the primary fuel used by the brain. It can also be stored in the liver and muscles in a polymer form known as glycogen.

Glucose (Beer Brewing)

A simple sugar (monosaccharide), chemical formula C6H12O6. Glucose is readily fermentable by all brewers yeast. Also referred to as dextrose. Corn sugar consists of primarily glucose.

Glucose (Biology)

1. A carbohydrate with the chemical formula C6H12O6 that serves as the primary carbon source of living things.

Glucose (Bodybuilding)

The form in which all carbohydrates are used by the body for energy. Glucosamine - The basic molecule that comprises your connective tissue. Glucosamine helps you make new proteoglycans, enabling your worn connective tissue to become smooth and resilient. The principal ingredient in CytoSport's Joint Matrix.

Glucose (Cancer)

A type of sugar; the chief source of energy for living organisms.

Glucose (Candy Making)

A type of sugar used in commercial candies and frosting, baked good, soft drinks and other processed foods because it does not crystallize easily. Also called dextroglucose or dextrose. Used in making fondant.

Glucose (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)

A simple sugar which is actively transferred into the blood following the digestive breakdown of starch and other carbohydrates in the gut.

Glucose (Cooking Ingredients)

Glucose is a sugar. The most common form of this sugar is called "dextroglucose"--commonly referred to as "dextrose." Corn syrup is a form of glucose made from cornstarch.

Glucose (Diabetes)

A simple sugar found in the blood. It is the body's main source of energy; also known as dextrose.See also: Blood glucose, Fructose, Sugar.

Glucose (Diet)

A very important sugar that most carbohydrates are made up of. Glucose provides energy for our body cells after it has been carried to them in the bloodstream; it can either be used immediately or stored for later. (See Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia).

Glucose (Dieting)

A very important sugar that most carbohydrates are made up of. Glucose provides energy for our body cells after it has been carried to them in the bloodstream; it can either be used immediately or stored for later. (See Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia).

Glucose (Fitness)

A simple sugar (blood sugar) that is created when simple carbohydrates are broken down in the body. Glucose is then stored in the muscles for fuel, and the excess is housed in the liver and fat cells.

Glucose (Food)

A thick, clear form of sugar which is produced by the breakdown of starch cells that have been treated with acids or enzymes and then fermented to form sugars. The thickness of the liquid glucose depends on how much the starch cells have broken down. It can be produced from corn, starch, potatoes, grapes, and honey (corn being the most common). In fact, liquid glucose is known as corn syrup in the USA. When glucose is mixed with maple syrup, it is called pancake syrup. Glucose is most commonly used in confectionery to give elasticity to caramel or sugar piece and to help prevent crystallization. It can also be added to chocolate to produce a modeling paste.

Glucose (Food and Health)

A sugar, most commonly in the form of dextroglucose, that occurs naturally, has about half the sweetening power of regular sugar and does not crystallize easily. Glucose comes from grape juice, honey and certain vegetables, among other things.

Glucose (Gaucher Disease)

A simple sugar that is the major energy source in the body.

Glucose (HIV and AIDs)

A sugar found in fruits and honey. If glucose is found in urine, it could be a sign of diabetes.

Glucose (Health)

A simple sugar, which is the body's main source of energy.

Glucose (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

The only simple carbohydrate that circulates in the bloodstream. Glucose is the primary fuel used by the brain. It can also be stored in the liver and muscles in a polymer form known as glycogen.

Glucose (Horse Health)

Blood sugar, the body's most important fuel molecule.

Glucose (Human Body)

also called dextrose, one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars (monosaccharides). Glucose is found in fruits and honey and is the major sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. It is the source of energy in cell function.

Glucose (Huntingtons Disease)

The major sugar in the body and a key molecule in energy metabolism.

Glucose (Liver, Biliary and Pancreatic Di)

A simple sugar, which is the body's main source of energy.

Glucose (Medical)

A sugar that is the main source of energy for the body

Glucose (Nutrition)

A simple sugar that is the principal source of energy for the body's cells. Blood sugar; a product of the body's assimilation of carbohydrates and a major source of energy. It is the form of sugar circulating in the blood stream and the form into which all sugars and starches are converted in the small intestine before being absorbed.

Glucose (Physical Geography)

Simple six-carbon sugar. The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.

Glucose (Pituitary)

A type of sugar found in the blood; an important source of energy in the body.

Glucose (Pregnancy)

Glucose is a form of sugar that the body uses for energy.

Glucose (Science)

A type of sugar abundant in corn syrup, honey, vegetables, and certain fruits; a type of simple sugar or monosaccharide

Glucose (Weight Loss)

A sugar (monosaccharide), sometimes known simply as "sugar"
