What else can I help you with?
What monosaccharide found in the blood has its concentration regulated by the hormones insulin and glucagon?
Glucose is called blood sugar.
What organ does insulin affect?
Insulin affects the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue by promoting glucose uptake and storage, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. Insulin also plays a role in regulating metabolism and promoting cell growth and function.
What are PFK's targeting pathways?
PFK-1 is primarily regulated by allosteric effectors such as ATP, ADP, and AMP, which signal the energy status of the cell to control glycolysis. PFK-2 is regulated by hormones like insulin and glucagon, which modulate its activity through phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Additionally, PFK-2 is also influenced by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels, which act as a potent activator of PFK-1.
How was insulin produced before genetically modified?
Before genetically modified organisms, insulin was primarily produced from the pancreas of slaughtered pigs and cows. The insulin was extracted, purified, and then administered to diabetes patients. This method was less efficient and more expensive compared to the production of genetically modified insulin.
Which are the insulin independent cells?
Insulin-independent cells are primarily muscle cells and nervous system cells. These cells do not rely on insulin to take up glucose for energy. Instead, they have insulin-independent glucose transporters that allow them to take in glucose from the bloodstream without the need for insulin.
What is the concentration of glucose in the blood is primarily regulated by what?
The primary regulators of blood glucose are the hormones glucagon and insulin. Glucagon raises it and insulin lowers it.
Does ACTH STIMULATE THE PANCREAS TO SECRETE INSULIN?
No, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) primarily acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate the production and release of cortisol. Insulin secretion is regulated by other hormones such as insulin itself, glucagon, and incretins like GLP-1.
Where is GLUT4 found?
GLUT4 is the insulin-regulated glucose transporter found in adipose tissues and striated muscles (skeletal and cardiac) that is responsible for insulin-regulated glucose disposal."Allows equilibrium with blood-bidirectional".
What monosaccharide found in the blood has its concentration regulated by the hormones insulin and glucagon?
Glucose is called blood sugar.
How is the blood level of of insulin controlled and regulated?
Well the hormone insulin takes glucose from the blood and shares it with other organs needing it. If Insulin isnt produced than this process isnt occuring which makes your blood have higher glucose levels, the insulin isnt doing its job.
The need to breathe is primarily regulated?
Yes yes it is.
What is regulated primarily by the buffering action of proteins?
pH balance
How does body maintain a steady level of sugar in the bloodstream?
The body mains a steady level of sugar in the bloodstream by sending signals to the pancreas. By producing insulin and glucagon, sugar levels are regulated.
How did insulin affect the world?
Insulin was first injected into a patient with diabetes in the early 1920s. Before then, if one's diabetes could not be regulated, that person would almost always die. After the mass production of insulin, people could manage their diabetes, and it was not a death sentence, as it had once been.
What organ does insulin affect?
Insulin affects the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue by promoting glucose uptake and storage, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. Insulin also plays a role in regulating metabolism and promoting cell growth and function.
The extracellular fluid concentration of which ion is not primarily regulated by the kidney?
iron
How are hormones levels regulated?
Hormone levels are controlled by the pituitary glands. Depends on the hormone. Blood sugar is decreased by the pancreas releasing insulin.
