Colorimetric Detection of Glucose in Rat Brain Using Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract

A gold-based assay: By taking advantage of the unique optical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the cascade reactions of glucose, a simple but effective method has been successfully developed for the direct colorimetric visualization of glucose in the rat brain.
