On a high carb diet, your arteries are bathed in glucose molecules on a regular basis.

Not exact matches

He and his colleagues found a way to disable this system using a modified version of glucose that mimics the molecules found on the surface of a fungus that attacks termites.

Its starchy home is torn asunder by enzymes from the pancreas, and now our intrepid electron is adrift on a molecule of glucose.

Unfortunately, researchers haven't had much luck in tweaking this approach to detect other molecules, in part because there aren't many enzymes like glucose oxidase that are tailored to work on a specific compound.

Typical blood glucose testing strips also contain a molecule that ultimately amplifies the signal from the chemical reactions on the strip enough to register electronically on a monitoring device.

Biomolecular model based on the gene expression data analyses support the reduction of glucose molecules (blue gradient) and acid buildup (gold gradient) proposed to occur in the boundary layer around the cell.

When Rumi binds, the six - amino - acid «signature» sequence that accepts the glucose molecule fits very precisely into the active site on Rumi in a classic «lock - and - key» manner.

On one end of the cascade is the so - called Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), and at the other end are numerous proteins with modified glucose molecules attached to them.

RUBINO REPLIES: Despite a clear role of bile and bile acids — components of bile that act as signaling molecules — in metabolic regulation, there is no clinical evidence that removing the gallbladder induces substantial effects (positive or negative) on diabetes; in fact, blood glucose levels typically remain about the same.

Led by reproductive biologist Alex Travis, the engineering effort focuses on a chain of enzymes that metabolize glucose molecules into the biological fuel ATP (a process known as glycolysis), which enables sperm locomotion.

The active site on the enzyme breaks the bond, and then the two glucose molecules float away.

Increased glucose processing has long been thought to inflict damage on the mitochondria (the cell's power generators), which then produce large amounts of reactive oxygen molecules, which in turn leads to kidney disease.

«One end of the molecule binds to p110 forming a key pathway that is needed for the metabolic effects of insulin on glucose metabolism.

These include electronic - skin coatings that can detect blood oxygen levels, contact lenses made from metal - oxide thin films that can detect glucose levels in tears and flexible integrated sensor arrays based on plastic and silicon integrated circuits that can detect molecules like glucose in sweat.

The researchers focussed on the ability of trehalose, a sugar consisting of two linked glucose molecules, to increase the amount of organelles inside specialized «housekeeping» cells known as macrophages.

He will present a novel hypothesis on the role of macrophages, defined in Greek as «big eaters», and identify molecules involved in muscle growth and glucose metabolism.

They can state «no sugar» or «low sugar» on the nutrition label because maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate, but it will impact blood sugar more than table sugar (table sugar is sucrose, which, by the way, is not a simple sugar — it is two molecules, glucose and fructose, bonded together).

This give the Sugar / Glucose molecules the opportunity to attach to proteins (in the blood, or on the body, like the cells lining your blood vessels, brain, joints, or skin, for example).

Based on what we understand of cellular energy metabolism, ketones are able to create much greater amounts of energy per molecule than glucose.

It may also have a stimulating effect on the pancreas to promote the production of insulin, the molecule that carries glucose to cells.

By focusing on starch consumption which are long chains of glucose molecules you will also minimize fructose.

Let's remember that protein is composed of complex molecules that the body must work hard to break down, and on a ketogenic regimen when less sugar and more protein is eaten, the body uses energy taken from stored fat (not glucose) to digest the proteins, and that's how we lose weight.

(We have to remember that our body does run on glucose as its main fuel, so it would not make sense to vilify glucose molecules, what all sugars break down into more or less.)

On one hand, all of our energy in the body comes from glucose molecules (carbs in their basic sugar form) but on the other, our bodies weren't designed to be surrounded by so many readily available carbOn one hand, all of our energy in the body comes from glucose molecules (carbs in their basic sugar form) but on the other, our bodies weren't designed to be surrounded by so many readily available carbon the other, our bodies weren't designed to be surrounded by so many readily available carbs.

Glycoproteins and polysaccharide molecules like glycosaminoglycans are important structural components of the body; certain cell types rely on glucose for energy; and the immune system relies on glucose for generation of reactive oxygen species to kill pathogens.

Insulin attaches to receptors on the surface of cells and opens «pores» in the cell wall that allow glucose molecules to leave the bloodstream and enter the cell's interior.
