The concentration of glucose is typically higher in the blood compared to the intestine. After consuming food, glucose is absorbed from the intestine into the bloodstream to provide energy for the body. Any excess glucose is stored in the liver or muscles for later use.
Yes
The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
Glucose content is higher between the intestine and the liver, particularly in the hepatic portal vein, because this is the primary route for absorbed nutrients from the digestive tract to reach the liver. After carbohydrates are digested in the intestine, glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream and travels directly to the liver, where it can be metabolized or stored. This concentration gradient is crucial for maintaining energy balance and regulating blood sugar levels. Other parts of the body typically utilize glucose, resulting in lower concentrations elsewhere.
The concentration of amino acids and glucose is typically higher in blood than in urine. In healthy individuals, the kidneys filter these substances from the blood, reabsorbing most of the amino acids and glucose back into the bloodstream. Consequently, only trace amounts of these nutrients are usually found in urine. Elevated levels in urine can indicate certain health conditions, such as diabetes or kidney dysfunction.
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.
Yes
i know it's higher than corresponding blood glucose concentration from 10 - 15%

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.
All of the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine (including amino acids and glucose) travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver.
In the small intestine.

Nevramin is made up of Fursultiamine hydrochloride and pridoxine hydrochloride. It offers superior absorption from the intestine, higher blood concentration and a higher tissue affinity.
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.
Glucose molecules are moved into the cell via facilitated diffusion using glucose transporters located on the cell membrane. These transporters bind to glucose molecules and move them into the cell, following the concentration gradient.
