dextroglucose

English

Etymology

From dextro- +‎ glucose (“right sugar”).

Noun

dextroglucose (usually uncountable, plural dextroglucoses)

  1. (archaic) dextrose (D-glucose) form of glucose

Usage notes

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.
