D-(+)-Glucose monohydrate is a common natural sugar, and is involved in processes like glycosylation, energy production and formation of glycans that are involved in providing structure to the cells. D-(+)-Glucose monohydrate also causes glycation which is a detrimental process in cells. It is used as a supplement for numerous cellular processes and in cell culture.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dextrose or glucose is an essential metabolite for brain and muscle cells. It is involved in majority of pathways and the levels are fined tuned by insulin hormone. Dextrose is majorly used in cell culture and high levels are detrimental, attenuating mesenchymal stem cell proliferation.
