Glucose is a monosaccharide. The most widespread are D-G ones, viz. grape sugar and dextrose. Glucose is contained in free conditions in honey, plants, animal’s tissues (blood, muscles, liquor cerebrospinalis etc.), starch. It is a component of fiber, glycogen, glycosides, glycoproteids and other derivatives. Glucose in a body is a main energy source. In cells it is formed with help of hexokinase, forming hexo-6-phosphate. It is used at different stages of carbohydrate metabolism. Glucose content in animal’s blood (mg %): cows 40-100; horses 60-100; sheep 40-65; pigs 40-250; dogs 70-100; hens 130-200. If there are some pathological states (ketosis, toxemia, diabetes mellitus), blood glucose concentration is raised (hyperglycemia). Its excess amount is excreted with urine (glucosuria). Determination of blood and urine glucose content has an important diagnostic significance. Glucose (Glucosum) is a white microcrystalline powder or colorless odorless crystals. It is freely water soluble. As a therapeutic agent, it is comes into a powder, tablets, 10%, 25% and 40% solutions and ampoules. Glucose’s pharmacological properties is provided by its energy implication, osmolytic and antitoxic actions. IV in the case of intoxications, many infections diseases, cardiac abnormalities, liver diseases, collapse, milk fever, lassitude of central nervous system etc. Apply as a component in different blood substitutes, in combination with other medicines to prolong their action.
