TLDR
In this paper, the reliability of the various Somogyi-Shaffer-Hartmann (SHH) copper reagents for glucose determination in biological material has been established, which can be accomplished by omission of the iodide and iodate in their preparation, since these interfere with the molybdate color reagents.

The [14C]deoxyglucose method for the measurement of local cerebral glucose utilization: theory, procedure, and normal values in the conscious and anesthetized albino rat.

TL;DR: The method can be applied to most laboratory animals in the conscious state and is based on the use of 2‐deoxy‐D‐[14C]glucose as a tracer for the exchange of glucose between plasma and brain and its phosphorylation by hexokinase in the tissues.

Interlaboratory testing of methods for assay of xylanase activity

TL;DR: In this paper, a collaborative investigation of assays for endo-1,4-β-xylanase activity based on production of reducing sugars from polymeric 4-O-methyl glucuronoxylan was conducted.

Outlook for cellulase improvement: screening and selection strategies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review quantitative cellulase activity assays using soluble and insoluble substrates, and focus on their advantages and limitations, and hypothesize that continuous culture using insoluble cellulosic substrates could be a powerful selection tool for enriching beneficial cellulase mutants from the large library displayed on the cell surface.

Blood sugar and fermentable blood sugar as determined by different methods

TL;DR: A protracted period of intensive critical study of the three methods for the determination of blood sugar has yielded improvements of undoubted merit in connection with each method, and it seemed desirable to include the Hagedorn-Jensen method in the authors' comparisons.
