English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From dextro- + glucose (“right sugar”).
Noun[edit]
dextroglucose (usually uncountable, plural dextroglucoses)
Usage notes[edit]
Levoglucose is not the antonym L-glucose form: despite its name, it is in fact D-fructose, due to the origins of stereochemistry and sugar research.
