This site gives information about the Lumbriculus variegatus that

HCOP is testing. These worms are used in many tests for toxicity in
sediment. Adult worms were used in this to study their growth,
reproduction and cloning. These worms were tested in four different types
of sediment, fine, medium, coarse, and whole. The worms turned out to
move more in fine sediment. On the other hand they grew and reproduced
less in medium and whole sediments. They were also slower in these
types of sediments. The clones that were produced had a lower motion
rate than any of the regular wormsi.

This site provides basic information about blackworm’s movement and

regeneration that would helps us in our future experiments concerning
those topics. The worms moved and grew more in fine sediment, as
opposed to the medium, coarse, or whole sediment. Clones don’t make
good test subjects because they have a lower locomotion level than the
regular worms.

Dextrose is a sweetener and is also known as D-glucose. It is almost as

sweet as sucrose, but not as muchii.

Dextrose is a sufficient sweetener.

This site informs us about one of the many different effects of dextrose on
the human body. They tested the use of dextrose against saline dealing
with Injection-assisted polypectomy (IAP). After being injected and
tested, ten months later, the patients see the results. The ones with the
50% dextrose, on average, had more lesions removed compared to the
saline tested patients. In conclusion, the solution of 50% of dextrose is
much more effective reducing IAP compared to normal salineiii.

There are many different effects, both positive and negative, of dextrose.
This site exemplifies one, in showing how a concentrated amount of
dextrose and positively effect and reduce IAP.
