Adipose tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels for energy storage and regulation of metabolism. It can uptake glucose from the bloodstream and store it as fat when glucose levels are high.

Is growth hormone glucose sparing?

No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.


Due to a lack of glucose 6-phosphatase which tissue capable of glycogenesis cannot contribute to blood glucose levels between meals?

skeletal muscle


What is the pancreatic hormone called?

The pancreas essentially produces two hormones for blood glucose control. These are glucagon in response to low blood glucose levels and insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. The pancreas produces glucagon in response to low blood glucose levels. It is a linear polypeptide produced by the acini cells of the islets of langerhans. This hormone allows glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to take place in the liver first and then muscle tissue. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose which is then released into blood plasma to increase blood glucose levels. This occurs in the liver until glycogen stores in the liver are depleted and muscle glycogen stores are used. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of amino acids to form glucose which is then released into blood plasma to increase blood glucose levels. It also stimulates lypolysis which is the break down of fats. The pancreas produces insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. It is also a polypeptide but is produced by the beta cells of the islets of langerhans. It increases cellular uptake of glucose which is removed from the blood, thus lowering blood glucose levels. This happens in most cells except the brain. It also fosters glycogen storage in the muscle and liver and promotes lipogenesis mainly in adipose tissue and the liver. It has one last effect. That is to stimulate protein synthesis from amino acids entering cells and inhibit protein degradation, effecting growth.


Starvation causes the plasma protein levels in the blood plasme to fall how would that affect the formation of tissue fluid in the tissue spaces?

Starvation causes the plasma protein levels to decrease, and when there is less plasma protein in the blood, you get lower Po (Osmotic Pressure). Lower osmotic pressure means less pull (of tissue fluid) so this causes generalized edema.so basically, less plasma proteins -> decreased Po -> less pull -> reduced venous clearance --> fluid build up in tissue


What are the functions of tissue fluid?

Tissue fluid helps substances to diffuse into and out of cells. Useful substances like glucose and oxygen pass from tissue fluid into cells. Carbon dioxide and waste chemicals like urea pass out of cells into the tissue fluid. Most of the tissue fluid then passes back into the blood capillaries. Fluid is constantly flowing from the plasma and back into the plasma, but some of it drains into our lymphatic system.


Why the concentration of glucose in the blood rises after a meal?

After a meal, glucose levels rise. This causes the pancreas to excrete insulin. Insulin causes cells in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. This makes the blood glucose levels decrease again to a normal rate.


What tissue group does the tissue that contains erythrocytes leukocytes and plasma belong to?

The tissue that contains erythrocytes, leukocytes, and plasma belongs to the connective tissue group. This specific tissue is known as blood tissue or vascular tissue.


What are the levels of organization is water carbon dioxide sodium chloride glucose?

Water, carbon dioxide, sodium chloride, and glucose can be organized from lower to higher levels as follows: molecules (water, carbon dioxide, sodium chloride, glucose); cells (e.g., glucose in cells); tissues (e.g., glucose in muscle tissue); organs (e.g., glucose in the liver); organ systems (e.g., glucose in the circulatory system); and organisms (e.g., glucose in a human).

What cells require glucose as an energy to carry out life processes and what mediates the glucose transport across the cell's plasma membrane?

Glucose is virtually the sole energy fuel of brain. Where as, Muscle can derive energy from glucose, fatty acids and ketone bodies; adipose tissue stores and uses triacylglycerols.Glucose transporters in the cell membrane permit the entry of glucose inside the cells.
