PHARMACOLOGY Glucose is a monosaccharide that provides the principal source of energy for the body. It is also involved in many additional areas of protein and fat metabolism. Glucose is stored in the body as fat and in the muscles and liver as glycogen. When a rapid rise in blood sugar is required, glycogen quickly liberates glucose. However, when this supply is insufficient the body mobilises its fat stores to release energy. Glucose also has a protein sparing function in the body. In the absence of glucose, energy can be produced from oxidation of deaminated amino acid fractions. Glucose is the probable source of glucuronic acid, hyaluronates and chondroitin sulphates and can be converted to a pentose used for nucleic acid formation. Glucose is metabolised to carbon dioxide and water thus providing water for body hydration as well as calories. INDICATIONS The solutions are indicated for intravenous fluid therapy designed to correct deficiencies in energy levels. Glucose 5% is also used to correct hydration levels.
