81
Eating carbs raises blood glucose so insulin is secreted and glucose enters the cells.... then what three questions are asked?
Do you have enough energy Enough stored carbs? What should I do know?
82
When will glucose move from blood to muscle?
As long as conc. of glucose is lower in muscle and transporters are available
83
You eat carbs, glucose blood up, insulin spike, fat and muscle glucose transport know what happens if the muscle is full of glycogen? If its not?
Glucose goes to the LIVER Glucose is stored as Glycogen
84
Does exercise increase or decrease glucose uptake in skeletal muscle?
INCREASE A TON
85
Glucose goes from blood to muscle when the blood glucose conc. is higher than the muscle glucose conc. What is done to keep the conc. in the muscle low comparatively>?
A phosphate is added to glucose in the muscle which makes it into glucose 6 phosphate and not glucose.
86
How does muscle say NO to incoming glucose?
If there is high energy charge and glycogen is full then PFK is inhibited This causes glucose 6 phosphate to accumulate Which inhibits hexokinase Which inhibits glucose 6 phosphate and causes glucose accumulation Glucose accumulation in the muscle brings the muscle and blood conc. of glucose to equal therefore preventing facilitated diffusion into muscle!
