It involves measuring extracellular cerebral fluid levels of an array of substances like glucose, glutamate, lactate, and pyruvate.
This means that the concentration of the recovered substance in the dialysate is very close to the true interstitial concentration of that substance (a relative recovery of glucose of 90% and that of lactate approximates 100% in humans) [ 8, 21].
The experimental results (Table 3) indicated that ten times of each substance and five times of glucose showed almost no interference with the determination of cholesterol.
Incretin-based drugs are a family of substances that lower glucose levels by enhancing glucose-dependent secretion of insulin, a condition known as the incretin effect [ 24].
Substantially reduced or elevated portable glucometer readings occur with ascorbic acid in a dose-dependent fashion and is one of the most common interfering substances that affects the accuracy of glucose meters [4, 5].
Many cereals are used industrially in the production of a wide range of substances, such as glucose, adhesives, oils, and alcohols.
Indeed, the sweet taste receptor is activated by various types of sweet substances including glucose, sucrose, fructose, artificial sweeteners including saccharin and acesulfame-K, and even proteins such as monellin and thaumatin [5], [6].
Activated inflammatory cells have been shown to overexpress glucose transporters and to accumulate increased amounts of glucose and structurally related substances such as F18-FDG [ 4, 5].
The result indicated that these foreign substances did not interfere significantly on the determination of glucose.
As a result, these substances delay carbohydrate digestion thereby decreasing the rate of glucose absorption, i.e. they blunt the post-prandial plasma glucose rise [ 13].
