1. L-Glucose

   l-Glucose is an organic compound with formula C6H12O6 or O=CH[CH(OH)]5H, specifically one of the aldohexose monosaccharides. As the l-isomer of glucose, it is the enantiomer of the more common d-glucose. l-Glucose does not occur naturally in living organisms, but can be synthesized in the laboratory. l-Glucose is indistinguishable in taste from d-glucose, but cannot be used by living organisms as a source of energy because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase, the first enzyme in the glycolysis pathway. One of the known exceptions is in Burkholderia caryophylli, a plant pathogenic bacterium, which contains the enzyme d-threo-aldose 1-dehydrogenase which is capable of oxidizing l-glucose.Like the d-isomer, l-glucose usually occurs as one of four cyclic structural isomers—α- and β-l-glucopyranose (the most common, with a six-atom ring), and α- and β-l-glucofuranose (with a five-atom ring). In water solution, these isomers interconvert in matters of hours, with the open-chain form as an intermediate stage.

1. L-Glucose

   L-Glucose is an organic compound with formula C6H12O6 or H––(CHOH)5–H, specifically one of the aldohexose monosaccharides. As the L-isomer of glucose, it is the enantiomer of the more common D-glucose. L-Glucose does not occur naturally in higher living organisms, but can be synthesized in the laboratory. L-Glucose is indistinguishable in taste from D-glucose, but cannot be used by living organisms as source of energy because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase, the first enzyme in the glycolysis pathway. One of the known exceptions is in Burkholderia caryophylli, the enzyme D-threo-aldolse dehydrogenase is capable of oxidising L-glucose Like the 'D-' isomer, L-glucose usually occurs as one of four cyclic structural isomers — α- and β-L-glucopyranose, and α- and β-L-glucofuranose. In solution, these isomers interconvert in matters of hours, with the open-chain form as an intermediate stage.

Examples of l-glucose in a Sentence

1. Aidan Buffey:

   Intermittent standing breaks throughout the day and after meals reduced glucose on average by 9.51 % compared to prolonged sitting. However, intermittent light-intensity walking throughout the day saw a greater reduction of glucose by an average of 17.01 % compared to prolonged sitting, this suggests that breaking prolonged sitting with standing and light-walking breaks throughout the day is beneficial for glucose levels.

2. Maya Adam:

   Whole food carbohydrates take longer to break down into simple sugars, and a part of them — the fiber — ca n’t be broken down at all, this means that whole, intact grains do n’t cause the same spikes in blood sugar that we experience when we eat simple sugars. Blood sugar spikes trigger insulin spikes, which can destabilize our blood glucose and … be the underlying cause of health problems in the long run.

3. Kurt Roemer:

   Factors such as sleep analysis, continuous monitoring of blood glucose for diabetics, blood pressure readings, pulse and heart rhythms, and even average levels of activity based on steps taken can provide doctors and clinicians with a much more complete assessment of a person’s health condition.

4. Giulio Romeo:

   The difference between the groups of patients was significant, blood glucose levels of people on cinnamon would not go as high as the participants on placebo after meals and also would return to baseline much faster.

5. Sharon Horesh Bergquist:

   The cause behind these associations isn't clear, other potential biological causes could be attributed to experimental evidence linking consumption of artificial sweeteners to sugar cravings, appetite stimulation and glucose intolerance.
