Can blood glucose level falsely increased in lipemic serum?
No. Lipemia is cholesterol and fat, not glucose.
What blood test requires slurry ice?
The type of blood test that tests for levels of glucose in the blood
What substance carries oxygen and glucose throughout the body?
Blood.
What are method for measuring blood glucose?
fasting blood sugar and random blood sugar the are both determine by use of glucometer
How many grams of glucose in blood?
well it would depend on how many grams of blood you're measuring wouldn't it
What is glucose receptors?
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
What is the sensor and integrator and effector of the blood glucose feedback loop?
The sensor in a negative feedback loop monitors the state of the variable, in this case blood glucose. For blood glucose, the sensor as well as the integrator is the Islets of Langerhans, since it contains the alpha and beta cells. Alpha cells produce glucagon, a hormone that acts on the liver to release more glucose into the blood. Beta cells produce insulin, which controls the uptake of glucose into the cells. The effectors respond to the sensor's messages, and act to maintain a variable. The effectors for blood glucose are the cells which take in glucose, as well as the liver.
Negative feedback with increase in blood glucose?
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.
What is glucogon?
Glucagon is a hormone, secreted by the Islets of Langerhans by Alpha Cell in Pancreas, that raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
What food substance that is used in respiration is?
it's either carbohydrates or vitamins!
How can Plasma glucose levels during exercise increase?
The blood glucose is used by the muscles during exercise. The level of the glucose in the blood drops down. This stimulates the secretion of the hormone called as glucagon. This glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the endocrine part of the pancreas.
How do glucagon works?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels are low, like when someone is fasting. It is released into the bloodstream by the alpha cells in the islets of langerhans in the pancreas. It causes the liver to convert the stored glycogen that it has into glucose. That glucose is released into the blood and increases the blood sugar level of the body.
What is the function of the pancreas in the endicrine system?
Beta cells will produce insulin in a humoral response to blood glucose levels rising. Alpha cells will produce glucagon which will stimulate breakdown of glycogen stores to raise blood glucose.
What preparation is required prior to a glucose test?
Blood glucose tests require either whole blood, serum, or plasma collected by vein puncture or finger puncture. No special preparation is required for a casual blood glucose test.
The alpha cells of the pancreas produce?
The alpha cells in the pancreatic islets produce glucagon themselves. It is released when blood glucose is too low. It is made by the usual process of protein transcription and translation from pertinent genes on the DNA.
How does the hormone regulates blood glucose levels?
The hormone that regulates blood glucose levels is insulin plus a second hormone, glucagon. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels and glucagon increases blood glucose levels. Insulin actually carries the glucose molecule across the cell membrane. That is how it actually lowers the glucose molecules in the blood. Glucagon causes the liver, which stores glycogen, to convert it to glucose which is released in the blood. These two hormones form a feedback mechanism which keeps glucose stable.
