| glucose-6-dehydrogenase deficiency | <biochemistry> An inherited condition that results in a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Particular drugs (sulphonamides) can exacerbate this problem. The result is haemolytic anaemia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| glucose-6-phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of d-glucose-6-phosphate and water to d-glucose and orthophosphate. This enzyme is deficient in glycogen storage disease Ia. Chemical name: D-Glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.9 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucose-6-phosphatase hepatorenal glycogenosis | Glycogenosis due to glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency, resulting in accumulation of excessive amounts of glycogen of normal chemical structure, particularly in liver and kidney. Synonym: Gierke's disease, glucose-6-phosphatase hepatorenal glycogenosis, von Gierke's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucose clamp technique | <technique> Maintenance of a constant blood glucose level by perfusion or infusion with glucose or insulin. It is used for the study of metabolic rates (e.g., in glucose, lipid, amino acid metabolism) at constant glucose concentration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucose dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Converts beta-d-glucose to d-glucono-d-lactone, transferring hydrogen to NAD+ or NADP+. Compare: glucose oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucose dehydrogenases | <enzyme> D-glucose:1-oxidoreductases. Catalyses the oxidation of d-glucose to d-glucono-gamma-lactone and reduced acceptor. Any acceptor except molecular oxygen is permitted. Registry number: EC 1.1.1. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucose effect | <biochemistry> The ability of the sugar glucose to block sugar metabolism by keeping the genes which make the enzymes involved in the early steps of sugar metabolism from making those enzymes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glucose-fructose oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Isolated from zymomonas mobilis; catalyses the formation of sorbitol and glucono-delta-lactone from glucose and fructose; enzyme contains tightly bound nadp+ Registry number: EC 1.1.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucose intolerance | A pathological state in which the fasting plasma glucose level is less than 140 mg per deciliter and the 30-, 60-, or 90-minute plasma glucose concentration following a glucose tolerance test exceeds 200 mg per deciliter. This condition is seen frequently in diabetes mellitus but also occurs with other diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucose isomerase | <enzyme> An isomerase enzyme which converts the sugar glucose into the sugar fructose. Fructose is a structural isomer of glucose. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glucose oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme which converts glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It is used to help diagnose diabetes by determining if glucose is present in the patients urine, if the glucose is present, the hydrogen peroxide produced in the reaction can be detected by reacting it with an indicator to change the colour of the urine.
