General description
D-glucose, an aldohexose, possesses four chiral carbon atoms. It is an important product obtained from starch hydrolyzed by acid and/or enzymes.
Application
D-(+)-Glucose has been used:
- as a supplement in Dulbecco′s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS) for standardized serum bactericidal assay (SBA) using human complement
- as a component in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)-buffered Tyrode′s solution to treat the excised diaphragmatic specimens to assess the effect of osmolarity changes on the intrinsic lymphatic pumping mechanism
- to study the effect of restoring circulating glucose content in insulin-responsive neurons of rats
- for oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucose, the universal energy source for all human cells, is the vital precursor for the production and conversion of several downstream carbohydrates. The uptake of glucose is a key indicator of cellular energy metabolism. Glucose infusion can block the release of oxytocin and vasopressin by insulin-induced hypoglycemia in humans.
Preparation Note
The material may produce a yellowish solution if prepared at a higher concentration than 2 g + 15mL.

Genotyping studies of Australian Scedosporium isolates have revealed the strong prevalence of a recently described species: Scedosporium aurantiacum. In addition to occurring in the environment, this fungus is also known to colonise the respiratory tracts of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
