Postabolic States: Subjective Or Absorptive?

The body was getting all the sugar it needed during 0 to 1 hour post meal and after that the levels started to go down. The body got what it

Plasma insulin/glucagon concentration differed significantly. Insulin levels were at their highest during 1 hour post meal time exceeding 180

The body maintains blood glucose at first, by an increase in insulin levels to lower the blood glucose levels back to its optimum range (4-6mM (milli Moles per Litre) or set point (5mM (milli Moles per Litre) after a meal. The homeostatic system then starts secreting alpha cells in the pancreas to stimulate glucagon to break down stored glycogen and converting it to glucose in the liver to be used. 6 hours after having a meal the cells continues

After consumption of food, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the digestive system which is then absorbed in the blood causing an increase in the blood glucose levels. This rise stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas beta cells which controls the blood glucose levels. Insulin also allows other cells to allow glucose into them by binding on specific cellular receptors thus facilitating the entry of glucose into the cell. Increased secretion of insulin by the pancreas and its subsequent utilization in the cells leads to low blood glucose levels which then result to decreased secretion of insulin. The production of insulin is also affected by disease which causes the dynamics of blood glucose to change when insulin production decreases, entry of glucose into the cells is inhibited which results to hyperglycemia. A similar situation occurs where the insulin secreted by the pancreas is not properly used by the target cells. Insulin secretion may also increase causing the blood sugar levels to become low which is hypoglycemia where the amount of glucose in tissue cells and muscles is higher than that in blood. Diabetes is the disease that occurs when a person's insulin levels are either too high or too low which results in imbalance in blood glucose levels. Type-1 diabetes occurs in those who produce little or no insulin at all while type-2 diabetes occurs in those who produce too high levels of

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps our body cells absorbs the glucose found in our blood. The glucose that is not absorbed from the blood is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen and stops the use of fat as a source of energy.

The carb crash causes an increase of insulin in the blood stream followed by a rapid decrease in blood sugar when the carbs are all used up. When fat burns, the body does not release extra insulin and give you a sustained level of energy.

Normally, after eating, the pancreas releases the right amount of insulin needed to turn carbohydrates in our food to glucose, to be used for energy later on. This is stored in fat cells! A substance produced by the liver called IGF-1 prevents the insulin carrying the glucose and avoiding it being stored as fat. Your body will then use the fat reserves when needed. When I tell you that HGH helps produce IGH-1 you'll see why aging is linked to an increase in weight.

Ghrelin sends a message to the hypothalamus that monitors body functions. Once the hunger is appeased, there is a reduction in the production of ghrelin. Researchers believe that overwhelming elevations of ghrelin is the cause of overeating; however, researchers are unsure why the hormone increases. The body stores the nutrients in the stomach, and a nutrient reserve. Carlson (as cited in Novin, VanderWeele, and Rezek, 1973) explained that the hepatic portal vein in the liver transmits hunger signals to the brain when glucose is low. Unfortunately, the body uses up more energy than it takes in, which is the time the hunger cycle begins

Metabolism is a single term used to explain the complex steps the body takes in turning the food person eats into the energy they need to function during the course of their day. This includes big tasks such as running and jumping, but also small things we do not think about such as

The level of glucose in your blood is regulated by insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas. When blood glucose levels rise after eating a meal, the pancreas releases insulin, which causes cells in the body (such as liver, muscle, and fat cells) to take up glucose, removing it from the bloodstream and storing it to use for energy. When the blood glucose levels start falling, the pancreas stops releasing insulin, and the stored glucose is used for energy.

we eat, a lot of the food is broken into sugar. Insulin allows the sugar to

foods rich in carbohydrates and plant based foods that when consumed by the human body is carried in the blood plasma (receptors for insulin is embedded into the plasma).Once consumed the carbohydrates are carried through the digestive system and broken down into glucose by enzymes from the liver. The glucose is absorbed into the blood (blood glucose level) and transported to cells around the body. Absorption of glucose into cells is made possible through the release of insulin from beta cells within the pancreas. The beta cells detect the increase of glucose in the blood and release insulin, the messenger for the effectors, to counteract the rise and bring the level back to the set point. Insulin enables the cells to take in glucose from the blood stream, opposing the rise, allowing for the creation of ATP for energy consumption and to maintain the internal environment. As the glucose levels drop back to the set point, the beta cells detect the decrease

In a regular digestive system, the hormone called insulin allows energy to be produced by allowing glucose (sugars) to exit from fat cells and muscle cells from the pancreas. People

The, 'Post-absorptive,' state usually occurs during the late morning, afternoon hours, and overnight when a person hasn't eaten for four or more hours. During the post-absorptive state the person's stomach and small intestine are empty and their metabolic requirements must be met from energy that has been
