L-Glucose

L-Glucose (L- (-) -Glucose) is a stereoisomer of D-Glucose (HY-B0389), which does not readily enter the brain. L-Glucose can promote food intake. L-glucose is combined with a fluorescence detector to produce a fluorescent probe that can be used to visualize and characterize cancer cells. L-Glucose also can be used in the research to enhance memory in mice[1][2][3].
