prescribed for high cholesterol over the past month because he says "I 've been following my diabetic diet" for pre-type II diabetes diagnosed six months ago. Further history and labs are • Smoker: 1 pack/day • Height: 5 '11" • Weight: 195 lbs. • Glucose: (4 hours post-prandial) 165 mg.dL • HbA1c: 10.4 • BP: 156/94 • Resting Pulse: 52 • LDL Cholesterol: 175 mg/dL What problem caused the professor 's symptoms? The presentation of symptoms that the professor is experiencing suggest that the…

Homeostasis - Blood Glucose Regulation Homeostasis refers to the (relatively) constant physiological state of the body despite fluctuations in the external environment. Homeostasis maintains a relatively constant physiological state by keeping functions such as temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, glucose concentration and many more of the body’s systems at safe levels. For example if a person has low or high blood sugar (hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia) their internal state is in danger…

Na+-Dependent Glucose Uptake by Retinal Cells The results displayed are indicating that there might be a possibility of a sodium-coupled glucose transporter (SGLT). By interpreting the results, one is able to see that the glucose uptake is higher when sodium ions are present than without them in the pericytes. Glucose uptake on endothelial cells does not change whether sodium is present or not. The plotted results are displaying two distinct trends. As sodium concentrations increase, glucose…

Cycle has many parts to it ultimately leading to the breakdown of glucose and the diffusion of lactate with the liver. In the Cori cycle there is the conversion of glucose to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis in muscle cells, the diffusion of lactate from muscle cells into the bloodstream then being transported to the liver. To the conversion of lactate to glucose through gluconeogenesis. Ultimately back to the diffusion of glucose back into the bloodstream going to the muscle cells, thereby…

and insulin both regulate blood glucose levels. However, their effects are contrasting: glucose is a hyperglycemic hormone, whereas insulin is a hypoglycemic hormone. A hyperglycemic hormone is a hormone that raises blood glucose levels. Glucagon acts as a hyperglycemic hormone because glucagon targets the liver to promote glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. (Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose; while gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from lactic acid and…

was milk. In this case, the amount of glucose produced in the milk (dependent variable) was measured. The constants of this experiment were the amounts of liquids (10 mL of milk and 1 mL of lactase), time to break down before testing (6 minutes), temperature, and type of container (test tube). The purpose of the experiment was to test the effect of the enzyme lactase on the milk solution. Because milk contains lactose (broken down by lactase to produce glucose and galactose), the purpose of this…

changing environment. However, within normal range limits only extreme conditions will lead to the breakdown of the negative feedback system and homeostasis. The homeostasis process is used during blood glucose regulation within the body. This is the process whereby the body uses hormones to keep the glucose levels in the blood at a stable level to ensure the body's optimum function. Blood…

inside your body: The liver stores glucose by converting it to glycogen. It holds perhaps a 12-hour supply of glucose in its glycogen. Once you finish digesting all of the carbohydrates that you last ate, the liver starts converting its stored glycogen back into glucose and releases it to maintain glucose in the blood. Lipolysis also starts breaking down fat in the fat cells and releasing fatty acids into the bloodstream. Tissues that do not need to use glucose for energy (for example, muscle…

help the body store the blood glucose it gets from food (1). Your blood glucose level is an important level to shows how much sugar a person's body has in their blood, which in effect comes from the food that we eat. The insulin normally targets the liver because it’s the organ that removes glucose from the body turning it into glycogen.(2) There are many different types of insulin based off of the amounts of time you need it to react in your body to lower the blood glucose levels. For example:…
