Hormonal Regulation of Carbohydrates. Hormones. What are hormones? maintain homeostasis (jack) chemical messenger (jady) chemical produced at one part of the body in response to situation at another part of the body insulin & glucagon – from the pancreas to regulate blood glucose level (bgl).

Hormones What are hormones? • maintain homeostasis (jack) • chemical messenger (jady) • chemical produced at one part of the body in response to situation at another part of the body • insulin & glucagon – from the pancreas to regulate blood glucose level (bgl)
When B.G.L is high Insulin is released (β) body cells to take in glucose Muscles and liver takes in glucose (why?) muscle & liver cells use glucose to make glycogen for storage Excess glucose is turned into fat (why?) long-term storage of energy When B.G.L is low Glucagon is released (α) Epinephrine and cortisol are released Hydrolysis of glycogen Blood Glucose Level
Insulin Promotes Energy Storage • Uptake of glucose into some cells • Glycogenesis: glucose glycogen (reversible) • Glucose fatty acids (irreversible) • Stimulate protein synthesis
Hypoglycemia – low glucose • Feel nauseated, dizzy, irritable, sleepy, etc • Too much insulin produced • Prolonged exercise • Reactive hypoglycemia • Fasting hypoglycemia
Glucagon PromotesMobilization of Stored Energy • Glycogenolysis: glycogen glucose glucagon – liver to break up glycogen to release glucose into the blood for energy epinephrine – muscle to break up glycogen to release glucose used by muscles • Gluconeogenesis: amino acids glucose liver glycogen lasts for about 24 hrs after that the body breaks down proteins for energy • Ketogenesis: fatty acids ketones (acidic/toxic)
Ketogenesis • Fatty acids ketones • Occurs in the liver • Stimulated by glucagon • Energy usable by the brain, heart, muscles, and kidney • Accumulation of ketones ketosis
Immediate Energy Source • Cortisol released in response to a “fight or flight” situation • Decrease glucose uptake (exept for the brain) • Stimulate glycogenolysis & gluconeogenesis
