Fasting blood glucose level of a hyperglycemic patient

Fasting blood glucose level of a hypoglycemic patient

process required to maintain blood glucose levels during long fasts

how long before glycogen stores are used up?

During a fast, the blood glucose level is kept constant by mobilizing ____________ stores in the liver

hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans

Where is insulin produced

hormone which promotes the entry of glucose into liver, muscle, and adipose tissue to be stored as glycogen and fat

hormone which inhibits the release of glucose from the liver

hormone synthesized by delta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans

where is stomatostatin produced

inhibits secretion of insulin, glucagon, and growth hormone, resulting in an increase in plasma glucose level

somatostatin promotes (increase/decrease) in plasma glucose level

Hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary that raise blood glucose levels

Where is ACTH secreted

Secreted by the adrenal glands; stimulates glycogenolysis, lipolysis, and gluconeogenesis

where is epinephrine secreted

secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands. It stimulates glycogenolysis and lipolysis

Epinephrine (inhibits/promotes) secretion of insulin

Physical or emotional stress causes increased secretion of this hormone

Epinephrine causes (increase/decrease) in blood glucose levels

Secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans

where is glucagon secreted

increases blood glucose by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
