Glucoregulation

Question 1

Glycogenesis

Answer 1

Glucose > Glycogen

in muscles and liver

To reduce

Question 2

Lipogenesis

Answer 2

Glucose > Lipids + Fats

in adipose tissue

To reduce

Question 3

Glycogenolysis

Answer 3

Glycogen > Glucose

in liver

To increase

Question 4

Gluconeogenesis

Answer 4

Fats + Amino acids > Glucose

in muscles and adipose tissue

to increase

Question 5

Methods of Reducing Blood Glucose Levels

Answer 5

1. Increase cells uptake
2. Glycogenesis
3. Lipogenesis
4. Protein Synthesis (to use Glucose in cell. resp.)

Question 6

Glucagon uses to Increase Blood Glucose Levels

Answer 6

1. Glycogenolysis
2. Gluconeogenesis
3. Protein Breakdown (to produce more amino acids of 3.)
   Cortisol
4. Glycogenolysis
5. Release of fatty acids (Gluconeogenesis)
6. Amino acids removed from muscle (Gluconeogenesis)
   Adrenaline + Noradrenaline
7. Anabolic respiration
   (lactic acid - Glycogen - Glucose)
