| glucose oxidase method | <chemical pathology> A highly specific method for measurement of glucose in serum or plasma by reaction with glucose oxidase, in which gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide are formed. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| glucose oxidase paper strip test | <chemical pathology> A qualitative test for glucose in the urine, in which glucose is oxidised to gluconic acid by glucose oxidase; a specific test, unless ascorbic acid is present. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucose oxyhydrase | <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. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glucose phosphomutase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of alpha d-glucose 1-phosphate to alpha d-glucose-6-phosphate. Chemical name: alpha-D-Glucose 1,6-phosphomutase Registry number: EC 5.4.2.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucose related protein | <protein> One of the stress related proteins: identical to endoplasmin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glucose solution, hypertonic | Solution that is usually 10 percent glucose but may be higher. An isotonic solution of glucose is 5 percent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucose tolerance factor | A water-soluble complex containing chromium needed for normal glucose tolerance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucose tolerance test | <chemical pathology, investigation> A special test where the blood glucose is measure in intervals after a glucose-rich meal is taken, a test used for diagnosing diabetes. (27 Sep 1997) |
| phosphoenolpyruvate-glucose phosphotransferase | <enzyme> Specific for glucose and nonmetabolizable analogs methyl alpha glucoside, beta-d-thioglucose and 5-thioglucose Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: II-b(glc) peppts, enzyme II-b(glc) phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system, enzyme II (glucose), glucose-specific permease, phosphotransferase system, beta-glucosidase permease, beta-glucoside permease, glucose permease, enzyme II(glc), bglp gene product, syta gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| d-glucose | D-Glucose;a dextrorotatory monosaccharide (hexose) found in the free state in fruits and other parts of plants, and combined in glucosides, disaccharides (often with fructose in sugars), oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides; it is the product of complete hydrolysis of cellulose, starch, and glycogen. Free glucose also occurs in the blood (normal human concentration, 70 to 110 mg per 100 ml); in diabetes mellitus, it appears in the urine. The epimers of d-glucose are d-allose, d-mannose, d-galactose, and l-idose. Dextrose should not be confused with the l-isomer which is sinistrose. Synonym: cellohexose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| d-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate | A bisphosphorylated derivative of d-glucose that is a required intermediate in the interconversion of d-glucose 1-phosphate and d-glucose-6-phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dTDP-D-glucose synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of dtdp-d-glucose by using glucose-1-phosphate and dttp as substrates; rfba is a dual function enzyme; rfba is also a phosphomannose isomerase-guanosine diphosphomannose pyrophosphorylase; see record of pmi-GMP Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: rfba protein, deltatdp-glucose synthase, tyla1 gene product, rfba gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| impaired glucose tolerance | Blood glucose (sugar) levels higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. People with impaired glucose tolerance may or may not develop diabetes. Other names (no longer used) for impaired glucose tolerance are borderline, subclinical, chemical, or latent diabetes. (30 Mar 1998) |
| test, glucose tolerance | After fasting, a specific amount (100 grams) of glucose is given by mouth, and the blood levels of this sugar are measured every hour. Normally, the blood glucose should return to normal within 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The gtt is considered a classic test of carbohydrate metabolism. It is much used in the diagnosis of diabetes. The gtt depends on a number of factors including the ability of the intestine to absorb glucose, the power of the liver to take up and store glucose, the capacity of the pancreas to produce insulin, and the amount of active insulin.

| UDP-glucose cyanidin-3-rhamnosyl-(1-6)-glucoside-5-O- glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> Chemical name: glucosyltransferase, uridine diphosphoglucose-cyanidin 3-rhamnosylglucoside 5-o- Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
