Glucose Detection Kits for Your Research
Rapid & Convenient Glucose Measurement
WHY STUDY GLUCOSE?
Glucose (C6H12O6) is by far the most common carbohydrate. For all biological and molecular events and for multiple cellular functions, energy is essential and is available in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), most of which is generated through aerobic cellular respiration of carbohydrates and glucose.
Impaired energy metabolism may trigger pro-apoptotic signaling (programmed cell death), oxidative damage, excitotoxicity, and impede mitochondrial DNA repair1. Additionally, a serious fall in blood glucose can be characterized by metabolic dysfunction, neuroglycopenia, seizure, and death2. A persistent elevation in blood glucose leads to “glucose toxicity,” which contributes to ß-cell dysfunction, and grouped together are complications of diabetes.
