ESSAY 5: Five different hormones play a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism during exercise. Discuss each hormone and its action in regulating blood glucose. Also, discuss the difference in glucose regulation during short term and long-term exercise.
The five different hormones that play a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism during exercise are insulin, glucagon, cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen.
Insulin is produced by the beta cells in the pancreas it stimulates the glycogen synthesis in the liver and muscle. This occurs because you cannot be sure that the cells in the muscles would have the amount of glucose necessary that are needed for the high demand of energy when exercising. This glucose …show more content…

ESSAY 6: Discuss in detail what lactate is, the conditions in which lactate is produced (anaerobically and aerobically), and the benefits of its production. Include information about the Cori cycle and the role that lactate plays in maintaining the cytosolic redox capacity of the cell. Lactate is one of the compounds that regulate metabolism during anaerobic exercising. Although it can be produced through aerobic exercising it is mostly known for its role in anaerobic exercise. Lactate also stores/keeps fat from breaking down in order to reserve it for energy, and it also decreases the amount of glucose that is used by the cells. In anaerobic conditions, lactate is produced through pyruvate. If there is no oxygen lactate must be “substituted” in, so if there is no pyruvate that will result in no lactate which would result in no energy, so lactate is very important. The Cori cycle is the cycle that explains how lactate (formed anaerobically) goes from the muscles to our liver and then is turned into glucose.
