Odour of sanctity. The odour of sanctity (also spelt odor), according to the Catholic Church, is commonly understood to mean a specific scent (often compared to flowers) that emanates from the bodies of saints, especially from the wounds of stigmata.
Glucose â a sugar â is a source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and other tissues. 1  Glucose comes from two major sources: food and your liver. 2  Sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream, where it enters cells with the help of insulin.  Your liver stores and makes glucose.
Glucose is the only sugar used by the body to provide energy for its tissues. Therefore, all digestible polysaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharides must eventually be converted into glucose or a metabolite of glucose by various liver enzymes. Because of its significant importance to proper cellular function, blood glucose levels must be kept relatively constant.
