| 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. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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) |
| 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 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) |
| glucose-1-phosphate kinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that, in the presence of ATP, catalyses the phosphorylation of d-glucose 1-phosphate to form d-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and ADP; found in yeast and muscle; d-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate is a required cofactor of one of the enzymes in glycogenolysis. Synonym: glucose-1-phosphate kinase. (05 Mar 2000) |
