Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the only rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Rapidly proliferating cells require metabolites from PPP to synthesize ribonucleotides ...

Pyruvate is thus transformed into lactate by the action of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). But this mechanism motivates the capture of more glucose for the synthesis of further ATP molecules ... The ...

During her time at CNET, Kim Wong-Shing loved demystifying the world of wellness to make it accessible to any reader. She was also passionate about exploring the intersections of health, history ...

Blood glucose testing is a way of monitoring the levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It's a key aspect of managing diabetes: Done regularly, it can indicate how well insulin supplements, ...

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices provide real-time blood sugar readings 24 hours a day, allowing people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to closely track blood glucose levels and trends. Most ...

Feeling tired? Hangry? Having an 11am slump? Craving biscuits at 3pm? It may be your blood sugar. You might associate glucose monitoring with diabetes, but, she says, it’s not just people with ...

A PREVIOUS report 1 dealt with the enzymatic conversion of galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate and mentioned that a thermostable factor is necessary for the reaction. This factor has ...

Background and objective: Glucosamine is suggested to affect glucose transport and insulin resistance. The effects of oral glucosamine on serum glucose and insulin levels at the initiation and ...

Is there a benefit for healthy people to track their blood sugar? Measuring blood sugar has joined sleep and exercise tracking as wellness trends, with some longevity experts claiming that ...

Banga and Szent-Györgyi 1 recently described a new enzyme, dioximaleic acid oxidase, which catalyses the aerobic oxidation of dioximaleic acid to the corresponding diketo acid.

Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...
