Fruit juices, hydrolysis of starch, cane or beet sugar, maltose and lactose
D-glucose
Hydrolysis of lactose
D-Galactose
Fruit juices, honey, hydrolysis of cane or beet sugar and inulin, enzymic isomerization of glucose syrups for food manufacture
D-Fructose
Hydrolysis of plant mannan gums
D-mannose
The main metabolic fuel for tissues; "blood sugar"
D-glucose
Readily metabolized either via glucose or directly
D-Fructose
Constituent of glycoproteins
D-Mannose
Readily metabolized to glucose; synthesized in the mammary gland for synthesis of lactose in milk. A constituent of glycolipids and glycoproteins
D-Galactose
Excreted in the urine(glucosuria) in poorly controlled diabetes mellitus as a result of hyperglycemia
D-glucose
Hereditary galactosemia as a result of failure to metabolize galactose leads to cataracts
D-Galactose
Hereditary fructose intolerance leads to fructose accumulation and hypoglycemia
D-Fructose
Important intermediates in the process of glycolysis
D-Glyceraldehyde and Dihydroxyacetone
Most abundant in nature and most important from a human nutritional standpoint
D-Glucose
D-Glucose Also known as
dextrose or blood sugar (main sugar in the blood)
In addition, (blank) important, including (blank) (for glucuronide formation and in glycosaminoglycans) and its metabolic derivative
carboxylic acid derivatives of glucose
D-glucuronate
(in glycosaminoglycans)
• L-iduronate
(an intermediate in the uronic acid pathway)
L-gulonate
synthesized from glucose in the mammary glands for use in lactose
D-Galactose
D-Galactose sometimes called
brain sugar
component of glycoproteins and glycolipid
D-Galactose
