AA, blood, cells
These AA in the blood and cells must be used with a _______ or so.
day
What are the (5) function of protein?
1 - Make up all enzymes and antibodies

2 - in plasma proteins responsible for agglutination

3 - in actin and mysin that make up muscle proteins

process by which we produce non-essential AA from essential AA.
AA can be catabolized for ___ or converted to ___ ?
NRG, or fat
d/ DEAMINATION?
removal of the amino group

What controls varous fx of metabolism?
Hormones
What is endocrine system?
System of glands that secrete hormones into blood, travel thru circulatory system and have effect on certain bodily functions

80-120mg/100ml
What 2 hormones control glucose level in blood?
Insulin and Glucagon
What organ makes insulin?
Beta cells of pancreas
What does insulin do if blood sugar is too high?
Make cells absorb more glucose from the blood.
When isulin allows cells to absorb excess glucose what is this excess glucose converted to?
Fat or glycogen
What affect does insulin have on gluconeogenesis?
Inhibits production of glucose from fat and protein. This is bad
Diabetics want to limit carbs and sugar in diet to stabilize their __________? This way glucose is made slowly from __________ of fatss and proteins and insulin need is decreased.
