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, ...

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 ...

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation—the process by ...

“We were stuck in the mindset that glucose is an energy source and nothing else,” Stanford Medicine chairman of dermatology Dr. Paul Khavari said. His are the words that define the paradigm shift ...

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 ...
