What else can I help you with?
What trace mineral is involved in the regulation of glucose uptake?
Potassium is the mineral involved in the regulation of glucose uptake.
What mineral is required for glucose uptake into the cells and are in mushrooms?
Chromium (usually sold as Chromium Picolinate). Chromium is a trace mineral and is well proven to regular glucose. Many diabetics (and pre-diabetics) swear by it.
Chromium assists in the uptake of what?
Chromium assists in the uptake of glucose into cells by enhancing the action of insulin. It is involved in regulating blood sugar levels and plays a role in metabolism.
Which mineral is glucose mixed with to make protein?
There is no "mineral" mixed with glucose to make proteins.
Which pancreatic hormone stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells?
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
What hormone increases glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue?
Insulin
Do brain neurons depend upon the availability of Insulin for glucose uptake?
No
What are two effectors used in blood glucose homeostasis?
Insulin is an effector that lowers blood glucose levels by promoting its uptake by cells. Glucagon is another effector that raises blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of glucose from storage sites like the liver.
What causes glucose to be removed from blood?
Glucose is removed from the blood mainly through insulin-mediated processes. Insulin facilitates glucose uptake by cells for energy production, storage, or conversion into glycogen or fat. Additionally, glucose may also be removed from the blood via processes like hepatic glucose output or uptake by tissues such as the brain.
What tissues are least affected by insulin?
Brain tissue is least affected by insulin because it does not rely on insulin for glucose uptake. Additionally, red blood cells and the cornea in the eye also do not require insulin for glucose uptake.
What mechanism is most likely used for the uptake of glucose by an intestinal cell located near the end of the intestinal tract?
active, ATP-fueled transport
Why growth hormone increases blood glucose?
Growth hormone increases blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver into glucose, a process known as glycogenolysis, as well as by reducing the uptake of glucose in muscle and adipose tissue. Additionally, growth hormone can stimulate the liver to produce more glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
