To calculate the concentration of glucose in blood using the Beer-Lambert law principle and glucose oxidase, you would typically measure the absorbance of a glucose solution with a spectrophotometer at a specific wavelength. The formula to calculate the concentration of glucose is: Glucose concentration (mg/dL) = (Absorbance - intercept) / slope Where the slope and intercept are obtained from a calibration curve using known concentrations of glucose.
No, blood glucose concentration is regulated by negative feedback. When blood sugar levels are too high, the alpha particles in the pancreas' islets of Langerhans signal the pancreas to produce more insulin, which regulates the sugar level by stimulating the liver and other body cells to absorb more glucose at convert it into either glycogen or fat. This lowers the blood sugar concentration. If it were positive feedback, high blood sugar levels would encourage the production of more glucose to increase the blood sugar concentration.
negative feedback can increase the concentration of glucose in the blood stream. if the blood glucose levels are too low, alpha cells will produce glucagon which causes the liver to break glycogen down into glucose. it is then released into the blood stream which increase the blood glucose levels.if it is too high, the beta cells will produce insulin which causes the liver and muscle cells to form glycogen from glucose. In addition, other cells are encouraged to use glucose in cell respiration rather than fats.both the beta and alpha cells are produced from the pancreas.
Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range. The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.
Hyperglycemia.
Hyperglycemia
The level of blood glucose is abnormally high.
Hyperglycemia.
Apoxemia is an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in arterial blood.
an abnormally low concentration of protein in the blood. and its hypoproteinemia
Muscle requires glucose, and so there is not the same concentration of glucose in blood entering and exiting a muscle. The exiting blood will be lower in glucose.
Yes
This process is known as glycogenolysis, where stored glycogen in the liver is broken down into glucose and released into the blood to maintain blood glucose levels.
Insulin causes a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells, especially muscle and adipose tissue. It also stimulates the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscle.
