Examples of glucose

• In type 1 diabetes, the body cannot use its own glucose, or blood sugar. 

• We also make a kind of sugar called glucose. 

• Mutations in the glucose-6-phosphatase gene that cause glycogen storage disease type 1a.

• It is possible, therefore, that reduced synaptic pruning (and therefore, elevated glucose metabolism) will be a symptom shared by several different groups with developmental disorders.

• There are eleven blood glucose meters available, each with different features to compliment the complex needs of individual patients.

• Developmentally related changes in the uptake and metabolism of glucose, glutamine and pyruvate by cattle embryos produced in vitro.

• The rate of uptake of glucose and pyruvate can be related to their respective concentrations in the culture medium.

• If retinal neurons had an absolute requirement for lactate, we would have expected some impairment of glucose uptake or lactate production.
