Where do red blood cell go in the body to get glucose?
if u mean glucogen (the stored form of glucose) they get it through the liver
What does the liver convert all excess energy-containing nutrients into?
Glycogen and fat
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 kind of hormone is glucagon?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels drop too low. It stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing blood sugar levels. It is a hormone agonist (i.e. binds to a receptor in a cell and triggers a response).Its opposing hormone is insulin, an antagonist which is release when blood sugar levels climb too high.
How is lipid synthesized from the extra glucose molecules you accumulate after carbo loading?
Glucose is broken down into acetyl-coenzyme A (glycolysis). In liver or adipose tissue acetyl-coA can form lipids. Insulin is one of the most important factors, it is released from pancreas after sugar intake and stimulates the formation of fat.
Where is glucogen made?
The liver
Where is glycogen turned to glucogen at?
The pancreas secretes "glucagon," not glucogen, to reverse hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which then turns stored glycogen from the liver into glucose.
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
The liver store glucose in what form?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and is second to fats as long-term energy storage.
Where do red blood cell go in the body to get glucose?
if u mean glucogen (the stored form of glucose) they get it through the liver
Which organ stimulates the production of glycogen?
the liver
What type of fat stimulates the liver?
The fat kind.
What stimulates the liver to produce glucose?
glycogen
Secretin causes the release of what?
It stimulates the liver to secrete bile.
How the hormones glucagon and insulin work together to control blood-glucose levels?
The pancreas has specialized cells that make two different hormones, insulin and glucagon. These two hormones control the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin lowers blood-glucose levels by telling the liver to convert glucose into glycose and to store glycogen for the future. Glucagon has the opposite effect. It tells the liver to convert glycogen into glucose and to release the glucose into the blood.
Vitamin K stimulates liver cells to increase the synthesis of?
Calcium
What stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. By doing so, the endocrine system increases the blood sugar level.
