What effects would the sympathetic and parasympathetic system have on insulin secretion?
Studies seems to indicate that the sympathetic system decreases insulin secretion, while the parasympathetic system increases insulin secretion.
What type of secretion is insulin?
Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. You could call it endocrine or pancreatic secretion.
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 is too much secretion of insulin called?
Hyperinsulinism
What disease associated with insufficient insulin secretion?
Diebetics
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to respond to secretion of insulin?
insulin resistance
Which system is responsible for the secretion of insulin and adrenaline?
Endocrine system
What does somastotatin do?
Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.
What happens in there is over secretion of insulin?
If there is overproduction of insulin then your sugar is low all the time. You will be hypoglycemic all the time.
Insulin secretion is stimulated by blood glucose concentrations?
Yes. Rising glucose levels causes insulin to be secreted.
What is the targeted pathway for insulin?
ER>Golgi>Outside of the cell.
What is insulin's target pathway?
cytoplasm to ER to outside the cell
