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"
