How much glucose is filtered in the kidney every day?
How much glucose is filtered and reabsorbed daily
How much does an old brain shrink?
About one cell a day :)
Why would a single daily dose of hormone not control blood glucose in diabetics?
No, because the amount of insulin you need at any given time of day varies. It may peak or dip with time of day, amount of activity, what and when you eat. Blood glucose levels need to be monitored several times daily to see whether you need to take insulin or whether you need to eat to maintain your levels.
If the mass of a newborn baby's brain has been found to increase by about 1.5 mg per minute how much does the brain's mass increase in one day?
2160 mg
How much oxygen do you breathe in one day and how much energy does it provide us?
We receive 34 ATP out of the 36-38ATP from oxygen during cell respiration. The other 2-4ATP is food energy (glucose).
Why does your brain need sugar?
Sugar is C6H12O6 which is Glucose, glucose is needed for energy through out the day, without sugar u will have no energy. but becareful what u eat because to much sugar is bad for you. Hope i helped
How many grams of glucose does the human consume per day under normal conditions?
The brain consumes around 120g of glucose per day.
How many cups of fruit do you need a day?
it depend on how much brain is left inside ur brain
How much glucose is filtered in the kidney every day?
How much glucose is filtered and reabsorbed daily
How much glucose is in diabetic person?
The glucose level changes throughout the day and night..
What are things that could change the amount of calories a person needs a day?
Your weight, age, gender, general health, how active you are, and even how much you think (since the brain consumes a relatively high amount of glucose).
How much does a brain doctor get paid a day?
10000
How much of your brain do you use each day?
10% each day
Why do humans need carbahydrates?
Your brain requires an uninterupted flow of oxygen and blood glucose to function. The brain needs large amounts of the sugar, glucose, which is its primary energy source. The mature, healthy, mammalian brain uses only glucose to obtain energy. A second function is the breakdown of glucose contributing to the formation of the neurotransmitters. The carbohydrates we use as foods have their origin in the photosynthesis of plants. They take the form of sugars, starches, and cellulose. The best source of glucose is carbohydrates (another source is protein). If you do not eat carbohydrates you will, usually, not have enough glucose. If you do not have glucose your brain begins to starve. When your brain is starving you do not think clearly and everything becomes secondary to a sugar source to your glucose starved brain. Lack of glucose energy to the brain can cause symptoms ranging from headache, mild confusion, and abnormal behavior, to loss of consciousness, seizure, and coma. Severe hypoglycemia [low blood sugar (low glucose)] can cause death. Not all carbohydrates are the same, some are simple sugars like monosaccharides or disaccharides while some are complex carbohydrates like starches or polysaccharides. A simple sugar like sucrose or table sugar is made up of glucose and fructose. It is disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides. Starches are polymers, long repeating chains, of glucose. Plants convert excess glucose into starch for storage. Starch is hundreds to thousands of glucose units long. This is why we eat things like wheat, corn or potatoes, they offer a large slowly digestible source of glucose that is a necessity to us. "Glucose is the major substrate that sustains normal brain function. When the brain glucose concentration approaches zero, glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier becomes rate limiting for metabolism during, for example, increased metabolic activity and hypoglycemia." "Although insulin is not supposed to play a role in the brain, recent evidence in both lab animals and humans suggests that the hormone may be needed for normal brain functions, including learning and memory; if so, defects in the brain's ability to use insulin could lead to anything from mild memory loss to Alzheimer's disease. The idea is still controversial, however, partly because no one yet knows exactly how insulin might affect brain neurons. Some researchers suggest that the hormone chaperones glucose to brain neurons and thereby helps them maintain their energy production, in which case, memory loss might result when brain cells lack insulin and become glucose starved. Others hypothesize that insulin has other beneficial roles, such as spurring neuronal growth and inhibiting the formation of brain lesions called neurofibrillary tangles that characterize Alzheimer's. If insulin's role in cognition can be pinned down, though, the work might one day point the way to drugs that could reduce memory loss in both Alzheimer's and normal aging."

How much glucose is present in your body?
Your blood sugar should be between 80 and 120mg/DL.Your body will convert glucose first from carbohydrates, and if you deplete your glycogen storage (stored glucose) it will then go through a process called gluconeogenesis, in which it converts proteins to glucose for energy (including your muscle tissue).The actual amount of glucose you need will depend on a variety of things such as your height, weight, sex, and physical activity.
