Excretion of toxins: Glucuronic acid, a metabolite of glucose, combines with chemical and bacterial toxins and some normal metabolites in the liver and thereby helps in their excretion.
Act as precursors: Carbohydrates and their derivatives serve as precursors to compounds such as nucleic acid, connective tissue matrix and galactoside of nerve tissue.
