    The document discusses the properties and applications of glucose. It notes that glucose is a type of sugar that can be solid or liquid with a melting point of 146°C. It is soluble in water and acetic acid, has no odor, and is colorless. Glucose is not toxic but is highly combustible. Applications of glucose include as an energy source for the body and to build muscle. The document also summarizes a study which found that dogfish can regulate plasma glucose levels in response to glucose and insulin injections through changes in glucose transporter expression, similarly to other vertebrates.
