PPT-Regulation of blood glucose

The normal blood glucose level ranges between 80120 mg100 ml blood This level is controlled by the following hormones 1 Pancreatic h 2 Adrenaline 3 Glucocorticoids 4Thyroxine. You can test your blood glucose levels as often as you need to or as recommended by your diabetes health care team Why is it so important to test my blood Regular testing and recording of your blood glucose level can help you monitor the effects of Brain needs glucose even when body is starving.. Liver will synthesize glucose via . gluconeogenesis. while brain uses glucose via . glycolysis. 2. Free energy. A-B + C . ---. B-C + A. If this reaction is displaced from equilibrium, some energy will be released as the reaction returns towards equilibrium.. C483 Spring 2013. 1.

The blood glucose level is the amount of glucose present in the blood. . The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis.. Glu. [Reference values]. . Fasting BG 70-110 mg/dL; casual/random BG . ≤ . 200 mg/. dL. BG is the concentration of glucose in the blood.. Note that fasting BG between 100 and 110 mg/dL is called “normal-high” glycemia and needs to pay close attention. . Hormones. Hormones are produced . by . endocrine . glands. . Endocrine glands secrete hormones . directly into the . bloodstream.. Hormones travel . in the . plasma of the blood until . they arrive at their . Do now activity:. Name three hormones and the glands which produce them in the human body. What do you already know about the function of the pancreas?. Why might it be important to control blood glucose levels? What might happen if it rises to high/falls too low?. Glucose is a primary source of energy for humans. The nervous system, including the brain, totally depends on glucose for energy. . The liver, pancreas, and other endocrine glands are all involved in controlling the blood glucose concentrations within a narrow range. . 224 PHL. Lab#. 1. . Introduction .
