` 1. OVERVIEW Glucose – blood sugar, Dextrose – sugar produced from corn, Fructose – sugar produced from fruit, Sucrose – table sugar made from 50 % glucose and 50% fructose, HFCS – High Fructose Corn Syrup – produced from corn syrup. I've learned in recent years from attending leadership conferences about the hippocampus: one part of the brain that seems important is the establishment of new memories, based on strong emotions. For a memory to pass through the hippocampus and into our long-term memory, two things must happen. 1. Emotion or Passion 2. Objective, we react to our present situation based on our past experiences or pain. (This looks like another report) I didn't know about the types of glucose transporters (more on that in another report). Or about the statistics on how many people in 2010 were or were not diagnosed with glucose levels that made them diabetics. About the hormone called leptin, a helical peptide hormone produced by adipose tissue. Leptin acts on the cells of the hypothalamus in response to increases the storage of body fat to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure, it also contributes to the onset of puberty and the secretion of insulin by the pancreas ,2. HISTORY OF GLUCOSEA German chemist named Andreas Sigismund Marggraf; he was born on March 3, 1709 in Berlin, Germany and died on August 7, 1782 in Berlin, Germany. He is first known for his discovery of sugar in beets and the development of the process for extracting it. He is also known for some other contributions to science.3. WHAT IS GLUCOSEGlucose is a source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and other tissues. It starts with food, but it also comes from the liver. The liver is a storehouse of glucose that, when your levels get low, goes to work sending out glucose to maintain the correct level in the blood and brain function.4. TYPES OF GLUCOSEa. Glucose – is the sugar present in the blood. Dextrose – sugar produced by corn. Fructose – sugar produced by fruit. Sucrose – is table sugar composed of 50% glucose and 50% fructose. HFCS – High Fructose Corn Syrup – produced from corn syrup. The problem with this one is that it seems to be in almost everything, I find it interesting, that since the time we started using it the increase in obesity and diabetes has increased..
