What effect does cortisol have on glucose levels in blood?
Cortisol release can increase blood glucose levels.
What statement about glucose and triglycerides s is not correct?
A statement that is not correct about glucose and triglycerides is that they are both types of lipids. Glucose is a type of sugar, while triglycerides are a type of fat.
Can blood glucose level falsely increased in lipemic serum?
Yes, blood glucose levels can be falsely increased in lipemic serum due to interference in some laboratory methods used to measure glucose levels. Lipemic serum contains high levels of triglycerides or fats, which can affect the accuracy of glucose measurements by some glucose assays. This interference can result in erroneously elevated glucose readings.
Will breath mints with two grams of sugar effect blood glucose levels?
Yes. Any carbohydrates effect the level of glucose in the blood.
Does caffeine ingestion affect blood test levels of serum glucose or LDL?
It affects triglycerides by increasing lipolysis and therefore free fatty acid/glycerol levels, don't think it affects LDL cholesterol.
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
What two sources do cells get their primary energy?
Glucose and triglycerides
What kind of diets are there that help with triglycerides levels?
Well, triglycerides are a type of sugar. You usually can get really high triglyceride levels if you intake too much sugars. Like, if you eat lots of white rice, you can have really high levels of triglycerides.
What effect would elevated cortisol levels have on blood glucose levels?
One function of cortisol is to decrease the cellular use of glucose while increasing both the available glucose (by promoting the brakedown of glycogen) and the conversion of amino acids to carbohydrates. Therefore, the net result of elevated cortisol levels would be an elevation of blood glucose.
Do mct increase a triglyceride level?
Consuming medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) can actually lead to a reduction in triglyceride levels in the body. MCTs are metabolized differently than long-chain triglycerides, and have been shown to have a positive effect on lipid profiles, potentially lowering triglyceride levels.
What is the range for healthy levels of triglycerides?
Triglyceride levels vary by age, weight, and sex. Triglycerides are lipids that circulate in the blood stream. Measurements are usually taken when cholesterol levels are analyzed.
Approximately what percentage of triglycerides CANNOT be converted to glucose?
Approximately 10-15% of triglycerides cannot be converted to glucose. These triglycerides are primarily stored in adipose tissue and are used for energy production through beta-oxidation in the liver, rather than being converted to glucose.
