Hormonal control of carbohydrate metabolism

Hormonal Control of Glucose Metabolism

Plasma glucose concentration is normally maintained within a narrow range despite wide fluctuations in the supply (meal) and demand (exercise) for nutrients. In adult humans, plasma glucose concentrations throughout a 24-hour period average 90 mg/ dl, with maximum values 60-90 minutes after meals, usually not exceeding 140 mg/ dl, and values during a moderate fast or exercise usually remaining ...

The effect of maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood in rats

Introduction: Many of the diseases of adulthood are originated from the intrauterine conditions during fetal life. Because of the importance of thyroid hormones in growth and development of the fetus, the effects of maternal hypothyroidism on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood was investigated. Methods: Pregnant rats were divided into the fetal hypothyroidism (FH) and the control (C) group...

Hormonal control of renal and systemic glutamine metabolism.

Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the human body. Recent studies indicate that it may be an important vehicle for interorgan nitrogen and carbon transport. However, relatively little is known about hormonal factors regulating its metabolism in humans. We review here our recent work on the effects of insulin, glucagon and epinephrine on plasma glutamine kinetics and its conversio...
