  • metabolism of glucose molecules to pyruvate or lactate from production of energy - glycolysis
  • formation of glucose-6-phosphate from noncarbohydrates sources - gluconeogenesis
  • breakdown of glycogen to glucose for use as energy - glycogenolysis
  • glycogen is stored in the liver and muscle cells
  • breakdown of glucose to glycogen for storage - glycogenesis
  • conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids - lipogenesis
  • decomposition of fat - lipolysis
  • if there too much glycogen in the body through glycogenesis it will turn in to fat
  • when the fat from glucose is needed to be used up it will undergo lipolysis
  • glucose will be converted tp glycogen in the liver glycogenesis. when glucose is needed from the liver it will undergo glycogenolysis
  • glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver or muscle after being absorbed
  • primary hormone for decrease of plasma glucose is insulin
  • primary hormone for increase of plasma glucose is glycogen
  • insulin site in b-cell
  • glucagon site is a-cell
  • epinephrine release during time of physical and emotional stress, increase plasma glucose
  • epinephrine site in adrenal medulla
  • hormones that increase plasma glucose is cortisol, growth hormone, thyroxine, somatostatin
  • somatostatin site in the d-cell
  • thyroxine site in the thyroid gland
  • growth hormone site in anterior pituitary
  • cortisol site in the suprarenal cortex
  • hormone produced by the b-cell is insulin
  • you will get hyperglycemia when sugar in the blood is highy. hyperglycemia leads to diabetes mellitus
  • hormone produced by a-cell is glucagon
  • a-cell will primarily increase plasma glucose
  • chain of 2-10 sugar units - oligosaccharides
  • linkage of multiple monosaccharides - polysaccharides
  • it is hormone released from physical and emotional stress namely fight and flight reaction. it will increase plasma glucose is epinephrine
  • under stressful conditions cortisol willl provide the body with glucose by tapping into proteins store through gluconeogenesis in the liver
  • the most common type of diabetes mellitus is type II
  • type II diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, and impaired fasting tolerance
  • increased blood glucose levels are due to decreased sensitivity to insulin or lack of insulin production in type II diabetes mellitus
  • Type I Diabetes Mellitus (TIDM) is also known as juvenile-onset diabetes because it usually develops during childhood or adolescence. It is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system destroys pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin. As a result, there is little to no insulin produced in the body leading to high blood sugar levels.
  • diabetes mellitus is caused by defective beta cells that produce less than normal amount of insulin
  • type II diabetes mellitus can be managed through dietary changes, exercise, weight loss, oral hypoglycemic agents, and insulin therapy
  • action of glucose - glucose to glycogen to pyruvate to acetyl-coa
  • action of glycogen - glycogen to glucose
  • epinephrine increase plasma glucose by inhibiting insulin secretion, increasing glycogenolysis and promoting lipolysis
  • growth hormone increase plasma by decreasing the entry of glucose into the cels and increasing glycogenolysis
