Sentences with phrase «circulating glucose as»

Hypoglycaemia damages the brain because brain activity relies on the circulating glucose as its main energy source.45 46 Thus, NSE decreased with increasing FBG (FBG < 6.0 mmol / L) in contrast to the positive association for FBG > 6.0 mmol / L.

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.

In a patient with insulin resistance, the muscles can not take up circulating glucose as efficiently as they should.

Not exact matches

Carbs are broken down and stored as glucose in the muscles and liver, fats are circulated as triglycerides in the blood stream and stored as adipose tissue (i.e. body fat).

It appears that as well as the state of ketosis and the neuroprotective role that ketone bodies generally display, the lower glucose levels, as well as other circulating fatty acids i.e. PUFAs also contribute to the anti-seizure effect (8)

Artificial sweeteners will raise insulin which will stay circulating in the blood as there is no glucose for it to break down.

High circulating blood glucose can bring about many problems such as eye and kidney disease.

This is because some of those carbs that are converted to fats wind up being deposited first the liver, then in organs and tissue around the waistline creating «bellyfat» (or, as Dr. William Davis terms it «Wheatbelly» due to the particularly insidious glucose spike caused by wheat consumption) while the rest of those VLD's and Triglycerides are spit out and circulating in the bloodstream and wind up on your blood panel!

Insulin also tells the liver to stop making glucose and the muscles to store fat (as there is sufficient energy circulating in the blood as glucose).

This type of diet also keeps your brain functioning well as the brain runs off of glucose, (ketones too which will be discussed later), and you should have plenty stored in your liver and circulating in your blood to provide adequate sugar.

As expected, the lower - carbohydrate diet resulted in significantly greater levels of circulating ketones (∼ 3 mmol / l), which was strongly associated with a lower hepatic glucose output.

In a longer study35 obese T2D individuals were prescribed a well - formulated ketogenic diet for 56 weeks, and significant improvements in both weight loss and metabolic parameters were seen at 12 weeks and continued throughout the 56 weeks as evidenced by improvements in fasting circulating levels of glucose (− 51 %), total cholesterol (− 29 %), high - density lipoprotein — cholesterol (63 %), low - density lipoprotein — cholesterol (− 33 %) and triglycerides (− 41 %).

Fructose also fails to reduce the amount of circulating ghrelin (a hunger - signaling hormone) as much as glucose does.

It would seem that there is probably exogenous insulin circulating in my body all throughout the day as it is the only way I can keep any semblance of glucose control, even on a very low carb diet.

Glucose is replenished much faster than glycogen, but as it circulates the blood, it must be moved into the muscle cells through an insulin mediated process in order to be used.

After a meal, for example, levels of triglycerides and glucose initially rise; then they gradually decline as the body removes and stores the nutrients delivered by circulating blood.
