General description
Glucose provides the primary energy source for cell metabolism. It is a main source of energy for living organisms. Glucose occurs naturally in the free state in fruits and other parts of plants. It is combined into glucosides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, the polysaccharides (cellulose and starch), and glycogen.
Application
D-(+)-Glucose solution has been used:
- to determine extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) or oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in human CB CD34+cells by Seahorse extracellular flux assay
- as a negative control in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) culture
- as a supplement for culturing colonic biopsies
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucose is an aldosic monosaccharide and acts as an important component of glycolysis and downstream pathways for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It provides energy for growth and reproduction. Glucose is a byproduct of photosynthesis that is condensed to starch in plants and cyanobacteria.
Other Notes
This product has been tested with cell lines to verify the product is not cytotoxic. The growth promoting capacity of this cell culture tested glucose solution was assessed at 45 mL/L in medium using appropriate cell lines.
This solution has been sterilized by filtration.
