Q

What molecule does the opposite of insulin and why do we not talk about it a lot?

A

Glucagon - because we eat so much that glucagon’s action is rarely needed

Q

Compare chocolat vs rice for their glycemic index

A

Chocolate has high GI - fast absorption but does not last long
Rice has a lower GI - but last longer

15
Q

What could be the origin of cramps?

A

Could be a hydro-electrolytic imbalance that may cause neuro-muscular hyperexcitability

16
Q

Define muscle soreness

A

Muscular discomfort that occurs between 12-14h after physical exertion

17
Q

Does lactic acid cause muscle soreness? why

A

NO - lactate is metabolized passively in 1h30 or actively in 20 minutes

18
Q

Is lactate a waste product?

A

No - can be used for glycogenesis in the liver/kidneys
or can serve as substrate for muscles/heart/kidney

19
Q

What is the advantage that athletes have in lactate?

A

Athletes have a better capability of using high lactate quantity before being fatigued - greater increase in anaerobic metabolism

20
Q

Blood sugar =

A

plasma glucose levels

21
Q

Normal values in healthy subjects for blood sugar

A

Between 4.5mmol/l and 6.5mmol/l (0.8-1.2g/l)

22
Q

Blood sugar is regulated by 2 pancreatic hormones, name them

A

Glucagon and insulin

23
Q

What 2 things can we do to improve our blood sugar levels?

A

Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise)
Medications

24
Two essential cells for the maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis
Beta cell produce insulin Alpha cell produce glucagon
25
Can the liver manufacture glucose? explain
Yes, necessary glucose by using amino acids and lipid storage
26
What factors increase vs decrease glucose?
Stress increase HIIT increase Low intensity decrease Insulin decrease Muscle contraction decrease?
27
How do we measure stress?
Adrenaline and noradrenaline (epi or norepi) + cortisol
28
During stress/high intensity, do you get an increase or a decrease in epi/norepi?
Spike = INCREASE Catecholamines
29
Why does our blood sugar increase at high intensity?
GP higher than GU due to high levels of EPI/NOREPI and no insulin Producing more than using it
30
Glucose levels during high intensity training (see slide 34)
Increase in nor/adrenaline will stop the secretion of insulin - will shock the body 7-8 fold to increase plasma glucose vs 3-4 fold utilization for muscle glucose uptake
31
What is type 2 diabetes?
An impairment in the way the body regulates and uses glucose as fuel. Too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream
32
What is type 2 diabetes caused by?
Insulin disorder Insulin resistance Linked with overweight/inactive/family history
33
Observe slide 39 ppt 17
Good insulin vs bad insulin sensitivity
34
What are the type 2 diabetes complications possible?
Damage blood vessels, nerves and organs
