What substance stimulate the release of insulin?

GIP Well, Insulin is a hormone that lowers the blood sugar level. Normally, the Hypothalamus (in the brain) sends messages to the Pituitary Gland (also in brain) to release a hormone that tells a gland to release a certain hormone, but that is NOT the case with Insulin (and glucagon). The pancreas can detect blood glucose levels. After eating, when there is a high blood glucose concentration, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps the liever store the glucose as glycogen, which the muscle cells can store and use to build protein. Or the adipose tissue can use glucose to form fat. From these actions, the blood glucose level drops. All in all, no hormone really stimulates the release of Insulin. The pancreas can detect the blood glucose concentration after eating.


What does faciliated mean?

It means that in order to cross a barrier, for example a cell membrane, a substance must have a facilitator substance to make it permeable to the barrier. For instance, glucose cannot enter cells unless insulin is present to facilitate the diffusion of glucose from blood to cell. Without the insulin, or with damaged insulin receptors on the cell membrane, the cell membrane remains impermeable to glucose and it cannot enter the cells, so it remains in the blood plasma. This is what causes Diabetes.


What happens when a person has a stroke?

A stroke is any disruption to blood flow around the brain. Technically, the blood/brain barrier does not allow blood to actually enter the brain. That can be one example of a stroke, if a blood vessel ruptures and causes blood to enter the brain. In normal operation, nutrients cross the blood/brain barrier to provide for the needs of the brain. If a blood clot stops blood circulation in an area of the brain, it's also considered a stroke. Typical body function during a bleeding event is to first stop the bleeding and then initiate repairs. All of that takes place without much thought on our part. The platelets form a shield around the cut other damaged area and stop the bleeding. When this happens inside the brain, part of the brain dies. When a blood clot forms inside the brain, nutrients are stopped and that too can destroy brain cells.

How penicillin cross blood brain barrier in meningitis?

Meningitis, by definition, is an inflammatory process of the meninges, which constitute the blood brain barrier (BBB). Inflammation makes the blood brain barrier more permeable to chemicals, such as antibiotics. Under normal circumstances, penicillin does not cross the BBB very well, but when inflamed, it can cross more readily.
