Glucose in the blood is converted to glycogen due to the actions of insulin. Glycogen is insoluble, so it doesn't affect the osmotic balance in the cytoplasm of our muscle and liver cells.
Glycogen is stored in the liver and it is released into the blood stream if the flood glucose level drops, if at fasting or after many hours of food intake.
glucose is stored energy. But if you don't use it, it turns into body fat. Almost like calories.
Insulin decrease glucose level.Glucogon increase glucose level.
i have a blood glucose level of 116 is that high
The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...
When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps cells take up glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, raising blood glucose levels back to normal.
Glucagon is a hormone created by the pancreas that signals the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar level is dangerously low by converting glycogen (glucose converted for long term "storage") into glucose in the process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas that tells the liver to convert excess glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar level is high in the process known as glycogenesis.
Blood glucose is the level of sugars in the blood. Some glucose sugar in the blood is normal, however lower or higher than normal levels can indicate medical issues, particularly diabetes
You can check your glucose level at any one of the drug stores. Walgreens has a glucose machine and you can check your glucose level, blood pressure and cholesterol level.
HYPERGLYCEMIA. because epinephrine increases the blood glucose level by increasing glycogenolysis.
The term used when a person has high levels of glucose circulating in the blood is Hyperglycemia. For someone who has low levels of glucose the term is Hypoglycemia.Hyperglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too high.Hypoglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too low.The general term for a rapid loss or gain of glucose is 'glucose shock.'A fasting blood glucose level above 126 milligrams per deciliter is considered hyperglycemic. A blood glucose level of below 50 milligrams per deciliter is considered hypoglycemic.
Blood sugar (or what is more specifically known as blood glucose level).
A good blood glucose level indicates that a person has normal blood level. They are eating properly and they are taking good care of themselves health wise as well.
