Glucose (French, German, English: Glucose, also known as blood sugar, corn sugar, corn sugar) is the most widely distributed in nature and most importantly a monosaccharide. Glucose is a polyhydroxy aldehyde, molecular formula C6H12O6. Optical solution to the right, it is also known "dextrose." Glucose has an important position in the field of biology, is the energy source of living cells and metabolic intermediates. Plants can produce glucose by photosynthesis. In candy manufacturing and pharmaceutical fields have wide application.
Glucose is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, so the hospital, sports enthusiasts often use it as a powerful source of quick energy. Glucose enhance memory, stimulate calcium absorption and increase operational cells. But too much can increase the concentration of insulin, leading to obesity and diabetes; too little can cause hypoglycemia or worse, insulin shock (diabetic coma Glucose is very important for brain function, glucose metabolism is affected by the following factors interfere: depression, manic depression, anorexia and bulimia. Alzheimer's patient records to other brain functions than Abnormal lower glucose concentration, resulting in a stroke or other vascular diseases. The researchers found that 75 g of glucose supplement will increase memory test scores in the diet. Glucose is absorbed into the liver cells, will reduce the secretion of glycogen, leading to muscle and fat cells increase absorption of glucose. Excessive blood glucose is converted into fatty acids and triglycerides in the liver and adipose tissue.
Normal glucose levels will not cause digestive symptoms of normal intestinal bacteria beneficial, especially bifidobacteria, for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients is very important. Absorption - glucose easily absorbed through the blood and quickly distributed to various parts of the body, it is absorbed in the intestine, reabsorbed in the kidney, by special transporter (membrane protein) crossing barriers between the blood and tissue.
