from Metabolism Made Easy · host A J Ghalayini, Ph.D.
Hormonal Regulation of Blood Glucose: Metabolism Made Easy Check out the original YouTube video of this podcast below: https://youtu.be/E_Vool7IuOE The YouTube video explains how blood glucose levels are hormonally regulated. Insulin lowers blood glucose by prompting cells to absorb glucose and store it as glycogen. In contrast, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol elevate blood glucose. These hormones stimulate the liver to release stored glycogen or create glucose from other molecules. This coordinated hormonal action ensures blood glucose remains within a healthy range. What are the primary hormones involved in blood glucose regulation and what are their roles?How does the body maintain blood glucose levels during fed versus fasting states?What tissues are most sensitive to hormonal regulation of blood glucose concentration.
