| glycolysis | <biochemistry> The conversion of a monosaccharide (generally glucose) to pyruvate via the glycolytic pathway (i.e. The Embden Meyerhof Parnas pathway) in the cytosol. Generates ATP without consuming oxygen and is thus anaerobic. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |
| glycolytic | Relating to glycolysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyconeogenesis | <biochemistry> The making of the polysaccharide glycogen without using glucose or other carbohydrates and instead using things like fats or proteins. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glyconic | A glyconic verse. Origin: Gr. A kind of verse, so called from its inventor, Glycon. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| glyconic acids | Monosaccharide derivatives in which the aldehyde group has been oxidised to a carboxyl group. They may form lactones (e.g., galactonic acid). Synonym: glyconic acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyconin | An emulsion of glycerin and the yolk of eggs, used as an ointment, as a vehicle for medicines, etc. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
