Description
Pharmacological action of
Glucose is one of the most easily assimilated sugars. It is well absorbed into the blood, and its excess enters the liver and muscles, where it turns into glycogen. In the body, it breaks down with the formation of energy, which provides heat, the work of muscles and other tissues. Glucose also stimulates the synthesis of hormones and enzymes in animals, increases the body’s defenses. With the intravenous administration of a hypertonic glucose solution, the osmotic pressure of the blood rises, the flow of fluid from the tissues to the blood increases, metabolic processes increase, the detoxification function of the liver improves, the contractile activity of the heart muscle increases, the vessels expand, diuresis increases.
