Q

What are astronauts at a higher risk of getting

A

24
What is glucose utilization
Process of how we use glucose as energy
25
What two enzymes are needed to complete the reaction related to glucose utilization
1) Glucose 6-phosphate 2) Hexokinase
26
Which of the two enzymes involved in glucose utilisation is the only one needed if glucose is already in the cell
Glucose -phosphate
27
What is glycolysis
Breakdown of glucose to get Energy
28
When is glycolysis most active
During exercise
29
What is glycogenesis
Glycogen production
30
Which exercise type (High or low intensity) increase blood glucose
High Intensity
31
During high-intensity workouts what do you have a spike of
Adrenaline
32
What does adrenaline do
Blocks insulin levels which will then lead to an increase in blood glucose levels.
33
What interesting finding was found about insulin level peaks, when does it happen?
Only AFTER exercise
34
What glucose test measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin
HbA1c
35
What test is a testing for insulin resistance
OGTT
36
What is the best insulin test you can use
Euglycemic clamp
37
What test gives an average of your glucose levels in the last 3 months
HbA1c
38
What type of diabetes is associated with excessive sugar in blood because your body cannot use glucose as fuel properly
Type 2
39
What type of diabetes is developped over time
Type 2
40
Name the risks factors of Type 2 diabetes
1) Overweight 2) Innactivity 3) Family history
41
What is a clear symptom of type 2 diabetes
Excessive thurst and frequent urination
42
Name two complications of type 2 diabetes
1) Damage to blood vessels 2) Amputation
43
Why do they sometimes have to amputate
Damage to blood vessels means that the nutrients cannot reach the blood tissues properly, tissues dies
44
What is the primary medication used to treat diabetes
Metformin
45
What does metformin do
Lowers blood sugar levels
46
What is a better solution than metformin, that can reduce type 2 diabetes to 0
Lifestyle changes
47
A person with type 2 diabetes should eat foods with a
Low glycemic index
48
What type of diabetes is an autoimmune disorder
Type 1
49
What cells does type 1 diabetes destroy
Beta cells
50
What is type 1 diabetes characterized by
No insulin production
51
What organ produces insulin
Pancreas
52
When is type 1 diabetes diagnosed
Adolescence
53
What can very very rarely trigger type 1 diabetes
A huge stress event or trauma
54
What are GLP-1
Medication to help with diabetes and weightloss
55
Name 2 consequences of GLP-1's
1) Loose muscle mass 2) Loose Bone Density
56
What is one way to conserve your muscle mass when taking GLP-1
Resistance exercise
57
What is a very common form of GLP-1
Semaglutides
58
What supplement help regain muscle mass after a big loss caused by GLP-1
HMB
59
What does the 10-s Maximal Sprint increases
Glucose levels
60
What do sprints avoid
Hypoglycemia
61
Why do following the 10s sprint does your glucose remain high
You don't produce insulin to decrease them
62
As a type 1 diabetes what should you always keep with you during exercise
Carbs
63
What is a sample size considered too small
Below 30 participants
64
Name two reasons a small sample size is not ideal:
1) cannot generalize 2) Can be influenced by outliers 3) Too much variability
65
A very good adherence % is above?
80%
66
What is the role of kidneys?
1) Filter blood 2) Remove wastes 3) Stimulates blood pressure
67
What is the role of kidney's in glucose regulation
They regulate blood glucose levels, they do the opposite of the liver
