Question

Glucose can be converted to _____________ and ________________ when glucose needs are met by the body (and stored in the body).

The normal fasting blood glucose levels are _____________. The random glucose levels are

___________ . Prediabetes glucose levels are ___________ and diabetes glucose levels are

__________

How is glucose homeostasis achieved (explain using glyogenolysis, glycogenesis and gluconeogenesis).

when a normal healthy person is fasting or starving

when a normal healthy person is over eating

Why is glucose can be technically considered as  “ nonessential nutrient” ?

Answer 1

1 Glucose -1-phosphate and then into Glucose-6-phosphate

2 FBS= Less than 100 mg/dl RBS =below 200 mg/dl.prediabetes 100-125mg/dl

3 During fasting periods the pancreas continiously release a small amount of insulin ,another pancreatro

In well fed state the source of blood glucose is through diet .All cells use glucose as a fuel .The major fuel of the brain in well fed state is glucose.After consumption of a large meal glucose levels in the blood spike up .When a person eats meal ,insulin secretion increases and moves glucose from the blood into muscle ,liver and fat cells .In those cells insulin

• Transports and metabolizes glucose for energy
• Stimulates storage of glucose in the liver and muscle
• Signals the liver to stop the release of glucose .
• Enhances storage of dietary fat in adipose tissue
• Accelerates transport of aminoacids into cells.
