, Glucose regulation - CORRECT ANSWERS--The process of maintaining optimal blood
glucose levels
- Preferred energy source to all cells
-Brain only uses glucose an an energy source
What is glucose regulation achieved through - CORRECT ANSWERS--Nutrient intake
-Hormonal signaling
-Glucose uptake by the cell
Glycogen - CORRECT ANSWERS-A major form of stored glucose
and stored in the liver primarily
Glycogenolysis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Breakdown of glycogen into glucose
Gluconeogenesis - CORRECT ANSWERS-The process from which producing glucose
from a non carbohydrate source
Example proteins and fats like keto diets
Source of protein in body - CORRECT ANSWERS-Muscles
Euglycemia - CORRECT ANSWERS--Normal BG levels
-70 to 99mg/dL (fasting)
-100 to 140 mg/dL (2 hour postprandial)
Hyperglycemia IMPORTANT - CORRECT ANSWERS--Elevated BG levels
- greater than 100 mg/dL (fasting)
-Greater than 140 mg/dL (2 hour postprandial
Hypoglycemia IMPROTANT - CORRECT ANSWERS--State of insufficient or low BG
levels
-Less than 70mg/dL
Normal physiological process - CORRECT ANSWERS-Glucose homeostasis is
controlled by a variety of hormones
Insulin - CORRECT ANSWERS--Hormones that lowers BG levels after carbohydrate
intake
-Secreted by beta cells in the pancreas IMPORTANT
-Key to open the cell to let the glucose in
counterregulatory hormone - CORRECT ANSWERS-A hormone that opposes
regulatory hormones
Glucagon - CORRECT ANSWERS--Counterregulatory hormone released in response
to cellular deficiency of glucose
-Secreted by alpha cells in the pancreas
