| uterine monitoring | Measurement or recording of contraction activity of the uterine muscle. It is used to determine progress of labour and assess status of pregnancy. It is also used in conjunction with foetal monitoring to determine foetal response to stress of maternal uterine contractions. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| foetal monitoring | Physiologic or biochemical monitoring of the foetus. It is usually done during labour and may be performed in conjunction with the monitoring of uterine activity. It may also be performed prenatally as when the mother is undergoing surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| activated glucose | A nucleoside diphosphoglucose such as UDP glucose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine diphosphate glucose | <chemical> Serves as the glycosyl donor for formation of bacterial glycogen, amylose in green algae, and amylopectin in higher plants. Chemical name: Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| Benedict's test for glucose | <biochemistry> A copper-reduction test for glucose in the urine, which involves thiocyanate in addition to copper sulfate for qualitative or quantitative use. (14 Aug 2000) |
| blood glucose | The main sugar that the body makes from the three elements of food--proteins, fats, and carbohydrates--but mostly from carbohydrates. Glucose is the major source of energy for living cells and is carried to each cell through the bloodstream. However, the cells cannot use glucose without the help of insulin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blood glucose meter | A machine that helps test how much glucose (sugar) is in the blood. A specially coated strip containing a fresh sample of blood is inserted in a machine, when then calculates the correct level of glucose in the blood sample and shows the result in a digital display. Some meters have a memory that can store results from multiple tests. (09 Oct 1997) |
| CDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose-3-dehydrase | <enzyme> A pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (pmp) dependent enzyme which catalyses the deoxygenation step in 3,6-dideoxyhexose synthesis, in which the c-3 hydroxyl group of the cdp-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-hexose intermediate is replaced by a hydrogen atom; isolated from yersinia pseudotuberculosis Registry number: EC 4.2.1.- Synonym: ckdg dehydrase, cytidine diphosphate-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose-3-dehydrase, cdp-6-deoxy-l-threo-d-glycero-4-hexulose 3-dehydrase (26 Jun 1999) |
| CDP-glucose oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From yersinia pseudotuberculosis; nad+-dependent; forms cdp-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucose | <biochemistry> D glucose, a monosaccharide (hexose), C6H12O6, found in certain foodstuffs, especially fruits and in the normal blood of all animals. It is the end product of carbohydrate metabolism and is the chief source of energy for living organisms, its utilisation being controlled by insulin. Excess glucose is converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles for use as needed and, beyond that, is converted to fat and stored as adipose tissue. Glucose appears in the urine in diabetes mellitus. Synonym: dextrose. Origin: Gr. Gleukos = sweetness, glykys = sweet (14 Oct 1997) |
| glucose 1,6-bisphosphate synthase | <enzyme> Glycerate-1,3-p(2) + glucose -1-p yields glycerate-p + glucose-1,6-p(2) Chemical name: glucose 1,6-diphosphate synthase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.106 (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucose-1-fructose-2-oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Catalyses intermolecular oxidation-reduction of glucose and fructose to form gluconolactone and sorbitol; contains tightly bound nadp as h+ carrier; does not require added cofactor Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucose-1-phosphatase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of d-glucose 1-phosphate and water to d-glucose and orthophosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.3.10 Synonym: agp gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucose 1-phosphate | <biochemistry> Product of glycogen breakdown by phosphorylase. Converted to glucose 6 phosphate by phosphoglucomutase. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase | <enzyme> Shrunken-2 (sh2) protein is a subunit of this enzyme Registry number: EC 2.7.7.27 Synonym: adpg synthetase, adpglucose pyrophosphorylase, ADP-glucose synthetase, shrunken-2 protein, shrunken gene product, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glgc gene product, bt2 gene product, brittle-2 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
