What blood glucose concentration what pancreatic hormone is secreted to stimulate release of stored glucose?

glucagon


What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?

patients absorbance/absorbance of the standard*concentration of the standard gives you the glucose concentration of the patients sample


What concentration of glucose causes glycosylation?

Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range. The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.


Are blood glucose levels regulated by positive feedback?

No, blood glucose concentration is regulated by negative feedback. When blood sugar levels are too high, the alpha particles in the pancreas' islets of Langerhans signal the pancreas to produce more insulin, which regulates the sugar level by stimulating the liver and other body cells to absorb more glucose at convert it into either glycogen or fat. This lowers the blood sugar concentration. If it were positive feedback, high blood sugar levels would encourage the production of more glucose to increase the blood sugar concentration.


Negative feedback with increase in blood glucose?

negative feedback can increase the concentration of glucose in the blood stream. if the blood glucose levels are too low, alpha cells will produce glucagon which causes the liver to break glycogen down into glucose. it is then released into the blood stream which increase the blood glucose levels.if it is too high, the beta cells will produce insulin which causes the liver and muscle cells to form glycogen from glucose. In addition, other cells are encouraged to use glucose in cell respiration rather than fats.both the beta and alpha cells are produced from the pancreas.
