glükózot

Glükózot is the Hungarian word for glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar, specifically a monosaccharide, which serves as a primary source of energy for living organisms. It is a vital carbohydrate found in many foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, and is also a key component of starch and cellulose. In the human body, glucose is produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and is transported through the bloodstream to cells, where it is metabolized to release energy. The level of glucose in the blood is carefully regulated by hormones like insulin and glucagon, a process known as glucose homeostasis. Disruptions to this regulation can lead to conditions such as diabetes mellitus. Glucose is also a fundamental building block for more complex carbohydrates and plays a role in various biochemical pathways. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6.
