You don't find yourself starving again after half an hour due a post carb crash bought on
by insulin elevation.
Not exact matches
The
elevation is caused
by insulin resistance (decreased ability of the body to respond to
insulin) and
by decreased
insulin production
by the pancreas.
In addition, the chronic
elevation of cortisol levels caused
by excessive stress negatively affects the receptors for both
insulin and leptin, which makes it harder for the body to read the signals of those hormones, thus keeping fat trapped in the cells and making you hungry all the time.
Two common hormone problems include
elevations in cortisol (from stress) and
insulin (
by refined carbohydrates and sugar).
Extrapolated to conditions of postprandial
elevation in blood glucose and
insulin (particularly after a high - carbohydrate meal), de novo lipogenesis in skeletal muscle, like in the liver, could also contribute to blood glucose homeostasis
by disposing some of the excess circulating glucose as muscle triglycerides, particularly if the glycogen stores are full.
Your body will react to the glucose
elevation by making more
insulin to move glucose into muscle and other cells.
Compared to placebo, postprandial glucose
elevation was reduced
by 14 percent at breakfast and 20 percent at dinner, and postprandial serum
insulin concentration was reduced
by 12 percent after breakfast.
This is in line with earlier experimental
elevations of plasma amino acids
by infusion, which resulted in impaired
insulin - stimulated glucose disposal and
insulin - mediated suppression of (hepatic) glucose production (36,37).
