| UDP-glucose-N-acetylglucosaminyl pyrophosphorylundecaprenol glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> From bacillus coagulans; catalyses the conversion of glcnac-pp-undecaprenol into glc(beta1-4)glcnac-pp-undecaprenol in the presence of udp-glucose Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: udpglucose-glcnac-pp-undecaprenol glucosyltransferase, uggppugtransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| UDP-glucose solasodine glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> Involved in the glycosylation of solasodine; from leaves of eggplant, solanum melongena Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: udpglc solasodine glctase (26 Jun 1999) |

| fasting blood glucose | <endocrinology, investigation> A method for finding out how much glucose (sugar) is in the blood. The test can show if a person has diabetes. A blood sample is taken in a lab or doctor's office. The test is usually done in the morning before the person has eaten. The normal, nondiabetic range for blood glucose is from 70 to 110 mg/dl, depending on the type of blood being tested. If the level is over 140 mg/dl, it usually means the person has diabetes (except for newborns and some pregnant women). (09 Oct 1997) |
| fasting glucose | <endocrinology, investigation> A measurement of the blood glucose in the morning prior to the ingestion of any food for the prior 12 hours. (27 Sep 1997) |
| UPD-glucose-thiohydroximate glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> From brassica; catalyses the glucosylation of phenylacetothiohydroximate in the presence of udp-glucose to form desulfobenzylglucosinolate Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: udp-glc-th-glucosyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| uridine diphosphate glucose | <chemical> A key intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism. Serves as a precursor of glycogen, can be metabolised into udpgalactose and udpglucuronic acid which can then be incorporated into polysaccharides as galactose and glucuronic acid. Also serves as a precursor of sucrose lipopolysaccharides, and glycosphingolipids. Chemical name: Uridine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of udpglucose to udpglucuronate in the presence of NAD+. Chemical name: UDPglucose:NAD+ 6-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.22 (12 Dec 1998) |
| utp-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of udpglucose from utp plus glucose 1-phosphate. Chemical name: UTP:alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.7.9 (12 Dec 1998) |

| liquid glucose | A pharmaceutic aid consisting of dextrose, dextrins, maltose, and water, obtained by the incomplete hydrolysis of starch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute system of units | A system based on absolute units accepted as being fundamental (length, mass, time) and from which other units (force, energy or work, power) are derived; such system's in common use are the foot-pound-second, centimeter-gram-second, and meter-kilogram-second system's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absorbent system | <anatomy> The tissues and organs (including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph nodes) that produce and store cells that fight infection and the network of vessels that carry lymph. (12 May 1997) |
