HRMNS Flashcards
Hormones that lower the blood glucose
Insulin
Insulin lowers what?
Blood Glucose
It inhibits the glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis while increasing the glucose uptake in the peripheral tissues.
a. Glucagon
b. Somatostatin
c. Insulin
c. Insulin
Hormone that is produced by the BETA CELLS in the Islet of Langerhans of the pancreas.
a. Glucagon
b. Somatostatin
c. Insulin
c. Insulin
Inhibited when there is a scarcity in the dietary fuels and when there is or during the period of trauma due to increase level of epinephrine
a. Glucagon
b. Somatostatin
c. Insulin
c. Insulin
Where do active- insulin came from?
cleavage of C-PEPTIDE off the PRO-INSULIN
insulins are produce in what cells, what organ, and what specific site organ.
Beta cells, Pancreas, Islet of Langerhans
It became the marker of the endogenous production of insulin to differentiate it from the exogenous insulin.
C-PEPTIDE
Elevated level of insulin suggests 1._____________and is characterized by 2._____________.
- Hyperinsulinism.
- Severe hypoglycemia.
The ratio of C-peptide to Insulin.
5:1
Together with the hormones epinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone, they oppose to many actions of insulin.
Glucagon
Hormones that opposes to many actions of insulin
Epinephrine, cortisol, growth hormone, and glucagon.
Hormone that is mainly produces in the ALPHA-CELLS of the islet of Langerhans in the liver
Glucagon
It increases blood glucose by activating adenylate cyclase to produce cAMP which further activates the enzymes phosphorylase causing increase in glycogenolysis.
Epinephrine
