The term castration is sometimes also used to refer to the removal of the ovaries in the female, otherwise known as an oophorectomy or, in animals, spaying. Estrogen levels drop precipitously following oophorectomy, and long-term effects of the reduction of sex hormones are significant throughout the body.
With the help of the hormone insulin, cells are able to pull in glucose from your bloodstream to use as fuel. Nearly all carbohydrate-containing foods, from fruits to breads, have some level of glucose, although fruits are usually the highest sources. Since glucose can elevate your blood sugar quickly, if you are diabetic, you may want to avoid regularly consuming foods high in glucose.
What Foods Contain Disaccharides? Disaccharides are a simple-sugar form of carbohydrate made up of two linked monosaccharides, of which there are three: glucose, fructose, and galactose. Examples include table sugar or sucrose, which is glucose linked to fructose, and milk sugar or lactose, which is glucose linked to galactose. Disaccharides may also be formed by two of the same monosaccharides bonding to each other. Maltose, for instance, is a pair of glucose molecules.
