If alpha cells had GLUT2 instead of GLUT1 what would change about glucagon secretions from these cells?
GLUT1 transporters in alpha cells sense the blood glucose in case of hypoglycemia. Therefore, if alpha cells had GLUT2 instead of GLUT1 then it would tailor the sensing of blood glucose in case of hypoglycemia.
If alpha cells had GLUT2 instead of GLUT1 what would change about glucagon secretions from these...
a.) What inhibits the secretion of glucagon by the alpha cells of the pancreas? (select all that apply) insulin glucose fasted state amount of glycogen stores in the muscle b. How does insulin effect liver metabolism? (Select all that apply) Activates GLUT 4 receptor to allow glucose to enter the cell Stimulates the synthesis of Free Fatty Acids Inhibits the removal of glucose from the cell Stimulates glycogen synthesis to form glycogen c.) What is the primary cause of insulin...
Insulin and glucagon release from the pancreas is a vital part
of the negative feedback loop that regulates blood glucose levels.
Let's review how insulin and glucagon release change in response to
plasma glucose levels and how that helps keep plasma glucose
constant.
Drag the labels onto the figure to create a flow chart of how
insulin and glucagon release change in different circumstances to
keep blood glucose within a normal range.

Cystic fibrosis is progressive genetic disease causing thick sticky secretions instead of thin slippery secretions, this phenotype is particularly harmful to the lungs and digestive system. This disease is most prevalent in caucasians of Northern European descent. A woman from Britain fleeing Brexit comes to you - a genetic counselor - worried that her unborn child would have this disease. I. In order to give her a risk assessment, what is 1 thing you need to know? II. If she...
What effect does Epinephrine and Glucagon have on the activity of adenylyl cyclase in adipose cells? What are three different mechanisms for lowering blood glucose that result from insulin binding to its receptor?
D) Now let's think about the role of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the role of glucagon in stimulating liver cells to make and secrete glucose to the blood. in the level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. High glucagon would cause a(an) (Write either “increase” or “decrease” in that blank.) What enzyme does fructose 2,6-bisphosphate ACTIVATE? E) OK, let's go back to the first of those glycolysis steps that you said was highly regulated. Using THERMODYNAMICS terms, what is it about this reaction that...
Follow some sperm cells from the testes through the length of the male reproductive tract. Describe how the sperm cells change along the way. Describe how different glandular structures contribute their secretions to seminal fluid and what the functions of those secretions are.
What would be seen if we stained endospore samples after one week of incubation, instead of staining before incubation? Would the cells be the same color and size or would that change? and why could it change? Also what is the appearance of stained endospores by light microscopy?
1. Why would the immune system goof and attack insulin producing cells in the pancreas instead of the pathogenic bacteria they were meant for? 2. What is sexual conflict?
What would the decay constant be if a 10 ohm resistor had been used instead of a 100 ohm resistor? Explain any difficulties you might encounter in collecting data for this case.
What would happen if you had used a 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate instead of hexane to elute your column? Would the product (DEET) have come out faster or slower? Would this have improved your separation, or made it worse?
