Extract from notes: "Normal blood conc. = 90 mg cm-3
INCREASING BLOOD GLUCOSE CONC.
- DIET: eating carbohydrate-rich foods (pasta and rice)  they are broken down in the digestive system, releasing glucose  absorbed into the bloodstream  conc. rises

- GLYCOGENOLYSIS: glycogen stored in liver + muscle cells broken down into glucose  released into bloodstream

- GLUCONEOGENESIS: production of glucose from non – carbohydrate sources; (Liver can make glucose from glycerol and amino acids)  released into the bloodstream
DECREASING BLOOD GLUCOSE CONC.
- RESPIRATION: glucose in the blood used by cells to release energy; higher the level of physical activity  higher the demand for glucose (for muscles to contract)  greater decreases of blood glucose conc.

- GLYCOGENESIS: production of glycogen; excess glucose is converted into glycogen  stored in the liver"
