5 Questions
What effect does insulin have on enzymes related to glucose production in the liver?
Inhibits them
What happens when there is an increase in the supply of glycerol to the liver?
Increase in glucose production
How do high levels of fatty acids affect the production of lactate?
Increase lactate production
What is the primary role of ketone bodies in the body?
Provide an alternative fuel source
How does uncontrolled release of fatty acids, amino acids, and glycerol impact glucose metabolism?
Inhibits glucose storage and oxidation
Explore the regulation of glucose production in the liver under insulin inhibition and the influence of increased substrate supply like glycerol, amino acids, and lactate. Delve into the process of ketone body formation, massive fatty acid supply to the liver, and the utilization of ketone bodies by the brain.
