Glucose enhances memory, stimulates the absorption of calcium and increases the communication between cells. But too much will increase the concentration of insulin, leading to obesity and diabetes; Too little can lead to hypoglycemia or worse, insulin shock (diabetic coma). Glucose is very important to brain function, and its metabolism will be disturbed by the following factors: depression, mania, anorexia and overeating. Compared with other brain dysfunction, patients with Alzheimer's disease have lower glucose concentration, which leads to stroke or other vascular diseases. The researchers found that adding 75 grams of glucose to the diet would improve the performance of memory tests.
When glucose is absorbed by liver cells, it will reduce the secretion of sugar in the liver, leading to an increase in the absorption of glucose by muscle and fat cells. Hyperglycemia will be converted into fatty acids and triglycerides in liver and adipose tissue.
Glucose Glucose is widely used in clinic, which is used for the water and heat needed by patients with high fever, dehydration, coma or inability to eat. When a large number of body fluids are lost, such as vomiting and massive blood loss, 5% ~ 10% glucose and physiological saline can be infused intravenously to supplement water, salt and sugar for hypoglycemia and drug poisoning. Intravenous infusion of 25% ~ 50% hypertonic solution can dehydrate and diuretic tissues for a short time because of its hypertonic pressure. It can be used alternately with mannitol to treat brain edema and pulmonary edema and reduce intraocular pressure. Treatment of hypoglycemia by intravenous infusion of hypertonic glucose. Combined with insulin, it can promote the transfer of potassium to cells, and it is also one of the treatment measures for hyperkalemia.
