Glucose test principle
Many cultured cells continually consume glucose from their culture media for the generation of biosynthetic intermediates. By knowing the initial glucose concentration in the media, its consumption rate may be easily assessed by monitoring glucose levels in the culture medium after incubation in the absence and presence of a test compound. Differences of glucose consumption in treated and untreated cells reflect changes in their metabolic state after drug exposure.
The assay allows to determine the physiological state of cultured cells by measuring glucose consumption. This procedure utilizes the coupled activities of glucose oxidase (GOD) and peroxidase (POD):

The quantity of oxidized dye in the supernatant is measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm. This method is suitable for end point and kinetic techniques.
