Term
insulin
Definition
from beta cells of pancreas; stimulates glucose transports to take glucose across membrane in blood; stimulates liver to take sugar to glycogen
Term
glucagon
Definition
made by alpha cells of the pancreas; stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, also GLUCONEOGENSIS: production of glucose from amino acids
Term
epinephrine and nonrepinephrine
Definition
secreated by adrenal glans and nerve ending when blood sugar low;
increases glycogen breakdown in liver to release glucose into blood; FIGHT OR FLIGHT REACTIONS
Term
Cortisol and growth hormone
Definition
secreted by adrenal glans for liver, muscles and adipose
cortisol increases gluconenogensis and decreases muscle glucose
growth: decreases muscle glucose, increases fatty acid
Term
glycemic index
Definition
food potential to raise blood glucose; high: surge in levels then dramatic fall
low: low to moderate fluctuations
NOT EASY TO PREICTC; WEAK RESEARCH
Term
KETOSIS/KEOACIDOSIS
Definition
fat breakdown during fasting forms ketones; excess ketones increase blood acidity and cause KEOTACIDOSIS;
NEED CARBOHYDRATES
Term

Definition
no energy: saccharin, sucralose, truvia, stevia plant
Term
diabetes
Definition
inability to regulate blood,
Term

Term
hypogylcemia
Definition
low blood gluocse: shakiness, sweating, anxiety
