Insulin, glucagon, & glycogen regulation. (Made simple with animation!).
This video covers the basics of healthy glucose regulation within the body.
-What is insulin and how is it produced?
-How does it help regulate the uptake of glucose into cells for use as energy
-How does it help regulate the storage of glucose within the body?
All explained using simple animations.

The muscle has glut4 receptors and doesn’t always need insulin to move glucose into the cells. Movement brings those receptors to the cell membrane to allow glucose in without insulin. But the rest was great! I just thought I should mention that.

Correct me if I am wrong . Liver and muscle can only hold certain grams of glycogen. After intake of food if those stores are already full e.g. if I eat a donut 30 min after my lunch that will go straight to fat rather than liver and muscles glycogen? In breaking a fast if I eat exactly the amount of calories liver can store. I would never get fat? Then eat again based on my bmr that liver would be empty by now. I read that atp uses muscle glycogen which are extreme efforts . So in normal cardio muscle glycogen is not broken down? What measures one must take that most of his food goes into muscle and liver glycogen rather than stored as fat
thx

The glucagon doesn’t help convert glycogen stored in fat back to glucose?
@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381
2 жыл бұрын
Glycogen is mostly stored in the liver (with some being stored in the muscle and fat cells). Glucagon will indeed convert glycogen back to glucose in fat and muscle cells. It also breaks down fat into amino acids for use as energy. Hope thats helpful.
Cute & informative. With A slight error,but that is ok.😅

So when does the body use fat for energy?
@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381
Жыл бұрын
the body breaks down more fats for energy when glucose, and therefore insulin levels, are low. Low insulin levels promote the secretion of glucagon which stimulates the breaking down of fats.

Suggestions to make things even simpler. Say sugar and fat (not glucose and lipid). Say liver balances blood sugar from getting too high or too low ("control" is not as clear to layman).

I have a hard time processing information in general, especially if presented with an accent different from my own. You can slow the video down in the settings for it, you can also pre-read the video wods in the printed dialogue below the video. I can explain further of this is something you are interested in benefitting from but are unsure of how to access the things i mentioned. Be well ~

I struggle with this in general, in youtube you can slow the video down in settings on each video, you can also read the video in actual words in the video notes below the video title. I can walk you through both if you would like a quick tutorial - its super easy, no tech skill required. Be well ~
