Product Information

• Name: b-D-Glucose - 95%
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: B-D-glucose is a monosaccharide with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is the major form of glucose in plants, and is one of the simplest carbohydrates. B-D-glucose is synthesized by photosynthesis in plants and used as an energy source for cellular respiration. The hydroxyl group of b-D-glucose reacts with p-hydroxybenzoic acid to form a new compound called glucopyranosiduronic acid. The hydroxyl group also reacts with sodium citrate to form sodium hydrogen citrate. This reaction can be used to measure the concentration of b-D-glucose in an unknown solution using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). B-D-glucose has been shown to have antidiabetic activity, as it improves insulin sensitivity, reduces blood glucose levels, and decrease body mass index (BMI) in animal models. A model system
