` 1. OVERVIEW Glucose – blood sugar, Dextrose – sugar produced from corn, Fructose – sugar produced from fruit, Sucrose – table sugar composed of 50% glucose and 50 % fructose, HFCS – High Fructose Corn Syrup – made with corn syrup. In past years, attending leadership conferences, I have learned about the hippocampus: one part of the brain that seems to be important is establishing new memories, from strong emotions. For a memory to move through the hippocampus and into our long-term memory two things must occur. 1. Emotion or passion 2. Purpose, we respond to our present situation from our past experiences or pain. (Looks like another report) I didn't know about the types of glucose transporters (more on that in another report). Or statistics on the number of people in 2010 who were or were not diagnosed with glucose levels that make them diabetic. Of 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 accumulation 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; was born March 3, 1709 in Berlin, Germany and died August 7, 1782 in Berlin, Germany. He is first known for discovering sugar in beets and developing the process to remove it. He is also known for some other contributions to science.3. WHAT IS GLUCOSE Glucose 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, which when levels become low, the liver gets to work and sends glucose to maintain the correct level in the blood and brain function.4. TYPES OF GLUCOSE. Glucose – is blood sugarb. Dextrose – sugar produced from corn. Fructose – sugar produced by fruit. Sucrose – is table sugar composed of 50% glucose and 50% fructose. HFCS – High Fructose Corn Syrup - made from corn syrupThe problem with this one is that it seems to be in almost everything, I find it interesting that since we started using it, the increase in obesity and diabetes is increased.
