What are the enzymes stimulated by insulin?
glucose
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin is responsible for the absorption of glucose into a cell.
Why a starved liver has less glycogen then a well fed liver?
The blood-glucose level begins to drop several hours after a meal, leading to a decrease in insulin secretion and a rise in glucagon secretion; glucagon is secreted by the α cells of the pancreas in response to a low blood-sugar level in the fasting state. In same way,insulin signals the fed state, this fed condition leads to the secretion of insulin, which is one of the two most important regulators of fuel metabolism,the secretion of the hormone insulin by the β cells of the pancreas is stimulated by glucose. It stimulates glycogen synthesis in both muscle and the liver and suppresses gluconeogenesis by the liver.
What hormone is required for the normal use of glucose in the body?
Insulin is the hormone that allows cells to take up glucose. Insulin is synthesised and released from the beta cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. Its release is stimulated by high blood glucose levels.
How is glucokinase regulated?
Glucokinase is often referred to as the 'glucose sensor' as it directly relates the rate of β-cell glucose-dependent insulin secretion and the rate of hepatocyte glucose metabolism to the ambient blood glucose level. Read more in related link below.
What are the enzymes stimulated by insulin?
glucose
How the action of the pancreatic hormones complement one another?
Beta cells secrete insulin, which lowers blood glucose and stimulates the production of glycogen. Alpha cells secrete glucagon, which raises blood glucose. The secretion of insulin is stimulated by a rise of blood glucose following meals. Glucogon is stimulated by a fall in blood glucose during periods of fasting.
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin is responsible for the absorption of glucose into a cell.
Insulin is stimulated by?
intake of sugar

Why is the secretion of insulin reduced in times of stress?
The hyperglycemia caused by stress would lead to an increased secretion of insulin, which would than lower blood glucose. As a consequence, the blood glucose would not be sustained to deal with continued stress.
During the conversion of glycogen to glucose hormones are secreted to stimulate the secretion and they are?
Glucagons and insulin
Make a sentence with the word inhibition?
Raised glucose levels appear to be due to inhibition of insulin secretion.
What type of reflex does the secretion of the hormone insulin in response to changes in blood glucose levels?
Endocrine reflex
What hormone is required for the normal use of glucose in the body?
Insulin is the hormone that allows cells to take up glucose. Insulin is synthesised and released from the beta cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. Its release is stimulated by high blood glucose levels.
It could be excess i?
It could be excess insulin secretion from your pancreas, but high glucose foods may cause this, and the enzymes would help
What happens in there is less secretion of insulin?
High blood sugar (glucose) levels in the blood are the number one reaction to a decrease in insulin secretion.However, lack of insulin secretion over time can also contribute to an individual obtaining Diabetes.Therecan also be spillage of keytones into the urine (which disrupts pH levels in the blood) from lack of insulin. These keytones can contribute to ketoacidosis which can cause coma or even death.Excessive urination and thirst are also effects of lack of insulin secretion due to the raise of blood sugar.
