    lactate and then back to glucose) were to occur and remain within that single cell (i.e., a muscle cell). Instead of accumulating in the tissue, the lactic acid produced by the anaerobic process is commonly taken up by the liver cells. In the liver gluconeogenesis happens. The process leads to the conversion of the lactic acid first to pyruvate then to glucose. The glucose would be supplied to the muscle cells through the bloodstream. The amount of ATP in the cell is likely to drop down, most probably quickly

    Catecholamines share some common physiologic actions with cortisol. Catecholamines and its metabolic actions are similar to those of cortisol. Both catecholamines and cortisol cause an increase in blood glucose through increased gluconeogenesis (McCance & Huether, 2010). Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose when the activation of certain enzymes occur (McCance & Huether, 2010). Both epinephrine and cortisol also cause an increase in blood glucose by preventing cells in the body from the uptake of

    cells, which express the liver-type glutaminase, use glutamine primarily for gluconeogenesis and urea synthesis. In liver cells, the produced ammonia is readily incorporated into the urea cycle. The kidney-type glutaminase on the other hand is responsible for glutamine metabolism in different cell types, predominantly in renal and brain tissue. Those tissues metabolize glutamine for renal ammoniagenesis, gluconeogenesis and energy production. In those tissues, completely unmodified ammonia gets released

    All the experimental results were compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, ver. 22.0, SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA). The data were are expressed as means ± SEM. Group means were considered to be significantly different at p < 0.05, as determined by the technique of protective least significant difference. Results 3.1. HPLC Profiles of BGE. To investigate the stability of the BGE water decoction, we repeated the same extraction step

    metabolism of proteins was apparently affected by Ch.t extract. The improvement on the levels of protein and albumin in the diabetic treated groups show that Ch.t extract have significant effect in glucose and protein level because insulin inhibit gluconeogenesis from protein [ ] or could be due to improvement in renal function. This affirmative agrees with the fact that the weight of skeletal muscles was significantly increase in diabetic rats treated with Ch.t extract. The decrease in albumin level

    Stress Induced Hyperglycemia, or SIH. In these cases, the stress comes from the trauma and can cause an adrenal cortisol and catecholamine surge that is said to cause the SIH and correlate to how severe the injury is. There is an over abundance of gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and insulin resistance that happens in response to the neuroendocrine system. The cause of stress hyperglycemia is from an increased

    The experiment aimed to determine the effectiveness of differential centrifugation and tissue homogenisation methods of separating and purifying subcellular organelles from liver tissue. Effectiveness was determined by assaying for the activity of marker enzymes specific to organelles in each fraction and calculating the specific activities and percentage distribution of each enzyme in each fraction (Watson, 2016). The first enzyme marker used was Succinate Dehydrogenase which catalyses the oxidation
