Glucose is a monosaccharide that is an important source of energy for the human body. It is a simple sugar found in many carbohydrates and is the main form of fuel used by the brain. Glucose is also used as a chemical building block for polysaccharides such as glycogen, cellulose, and chitin. The hypoglycemic effect of glucose can be observed when blood glucose levels are below 70 mg/dL. This effect can be due to its ability to increase the production of insulin or decrease the rate of gluconeogenesis in liver cells. It also has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on some viruses and bacteria, which may be due to its ability to inhibit transcription activators or polymerase chain reactions.
