2. Coordination sphere - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_sphere

   Compared to the first coordination sphere, the second coordination sphere has a less direct influence on the reactivity and chemical properties of the metal complex. Nonetheless the second coordination sphere is relevant to understanding reactions of the metal complex, including the mechanisms of ligand exchange and catalysis.

3. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

   Benedict's reagent can also be used to test for the presence of glucose in urine, elevated levels of which is known as glucosuria. Glucosuria can be indicative of diabetes mellitus , but Benedict's test is not recommended or used for diagnosis of the aforementioned condition.

4. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

   The flat line is the optimal blood sugar level (i.e. the homeostatic set point). Blood sugar levels are balanced by the tug-of-war between 2 functionally opposite hormones, glucagon and insulin. Blood sugar levels are regulated by negative feedback in order to keep the body in balance.

5. Glucose tolerance test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test

   The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...

6. Glucose clamp technique - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_clamp_technique

   Hyperglycemic clamp technique: The plasma glucose concentration is acutely raised to 125 mg/dl above basal levels by a continuous infusion of glucose. This hyperglycemic plateau is maintained by adjustment of a variable glucose infusion, based on the rate of insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Because the plasma glucose concentration is ...

7. Blood glucose monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_glucose_monitoring

   Blood glucose monitoring is the use of a glucose meter for testing the concentration of glucose in the blood ().Particularly important in diabetes management, a blood glucose test is typically performed by piercing the skin (typically, via fingerstick) to draw blood, then applying the blood to a chemically active disposable 'test-strip'.
