What else can I help you with?
Is Blood sugar call sucrose?
No, blood sugars are called Glucose and Sucrose is just plain table sugar.
Is glucose present in Mountain Dew?
Sucrose- sugar. You answered your own question. Sucrose is commercial sugar- while Glucose- blood sugar, is found in the blood.
Why does the amount of sucrose in the diet affect the concentration of glucose in the blood?
Sucrose is made of 2 sugars, glucose and fructose. It is broken down into these components during digestion.
Does sucrose raise blood sugar level?
Sucrose is a type of sugar. Other types of sugar include glucose, fructose, and dextrose. Any sugar ingested raises blood sugar level.
Why is fructose used?
Fructose as an ingredient or a 'sugar' replacement in your coffee or tea is normally consumed by diabetic sufferers. This is because it has a lower glycaemic index than sucrose (regular sugar). This means that when fructose is consumed the body takes longer to metabolise it into, its main energy source, glucose. So therefore, the glucose formed from fructose is absorbed into the blood stream much slower than what would be seen for sucrose. This is due to the different formations and shapes of the fructose and sucrose. So a more complex shape (fructose) would take longer to breakdown into the shape of glucose and the simpler shape (sucrose) would breakdown faster to glucose.
Is glucose and sucrose good foods for diabetic persons?
Glucose is a sugar that is in your blood stream. You need to keep this under control. Sucrose is a form of sugar that can be use by diabetics but they need to watch their total carbohydrates, as these break down into simple sugars.
What is the difference between ingestion and feeding?
Feeding almost always happens from mouth whereas in ingestion, fluids (such as glucose) can be inserted into the body through viens which is very similar to blood infusion.
The another name for high blood sugar?
I want to say one of then is sucrose. Im pretty sure! 8~)
Why dextrose rather than normal saline?
It's a monosaccharide. Sucrose breaks into glucose and fructose. Glucose is more easily metabolized. Why add two sugars when one will do? Answer: Glucose is the sugar that our cells use for energy. When we eat sucrose (table sugar) it is converted to glucose (metabolized) before the cells are able to use it. This is done by a system that evolved to receive sucrose via the digestive tract. It does not work well when supplied intravenously, and so direct injection of sucrose into the blood could seriously alter blood chemistry with a number of unwanted consequences.
What is the simple sugar referred to as 'blood sugar'?
Glucose, C6H12O6. Can be found as such in some edibles, but largely formed by the hydrolysis of sucrose, C12H22O11, common table sugar.
The oxidation of sucrose to release energy in the body?
Sucrose is also called table sugar. Sucrose (C12H22O11) is a disaccharide made up of one molecule each of glucose (C6H12O6) and fructose (C6H12O6). The C1 (carbon 1) of glucose is covalently bonded to the C2 (carbon2) of fructose called 1-2 gluclsidic linkage. After ingestion, sucrose is hydrolyzed/ digested by pancreatic enzyme sucrase or invertase to its individual components of glucose and fructose. The glucose is an instant source of energy. It is transported through the blood to the interstitial fluid. From this fluid the glucose is taken up by the cells/ tissues. As soon as glucose enters the cells glycolysis occurs further the product of glycolysis (pyruvate) is oxidized to acetalcoenzyme which is further oxidized to CO2 and water enzymatically (TCA cycle) to supply 38 ATPs in Bacteria (prokaryotes) and 36 ATPs in mitochondrion of Eukaryotes. Fructose that is formed is transformed by the enzymes as fructose 6-phosphate which is an intermediate of glycolysis and the process of oxidation by TCA continues to provide the ATP.
What diagnostic tests are used to confirm diabetes?
There are several blood tests that can diagnose diabetes. The most common is a fasting blood glucose test, where the glucose level is measured after at least eight hours of fasting. The blood glucose can be measured without fasting, but it can only diagnose diabetes, not prediabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test monitors how a body responds to an influx of glucose. After fasting for a least 8 hours, blood glucose levels are measured before and every 30-60 minutes after the ingestion of a glucose beverage for three hours. A urine test for high levels of glucose and ketones can help diagnose diabetes, but these results are not enough on their own.
