Sucrose, glucose, and fructose are three common types of sugar that are absorbed differently and have slightly different effects on the body. Whether they occur naturally in foods or are added to them ...

3D electron tomography reveals glycogen particles (purple) clustered on the surface of lipid droplets (yellow), closely associated with endoplasmic reticulum membranes (blue) and mitochondria (red), ...

Silver-coated nanopillars selectively bind glucose in sweat, producing measurable light changes. A compact LED and Bluetooth module relay readings to a phone in real time.

Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a rare metabolic condition. It occurs when a genetic variation makes the body unable to properly absorb the simple sugars glucose and galactose. Sugars are the ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a high-resolution metabolic "map" of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...
