In All Cells Glucose Metabolism Begins With

Glucose is the sugar that is transported through the bloodstream and taken up by cells. Insulin-mediated glucose uptake IMGU and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion GSIS.

Activation of the insulin cascades.

. One of the actions of insulin is to increase glycolysis whilst suppressing gluconeogenesis in the liver. The body can also make glucose from fats and proteins. The homeostasis of glucose metabolism is carried out by 2 signaling cascades.

Blood sugar really means blood. The IMGU cascade allows insulin to increase the uptake of glucose from skeletal muscle and adipose tissue and suppresses glucose generation by hepatic cells. Blood sugar really means blood glucose.

Regulation of glucose metabolism by gene expression. Once the body absorbs simple sugars it usually converts them all into glucose which is an important source of fuel for the body. In response to increased insulin and glucose the mammalian liver muscle and peripheral tissue increases the expression of GLUT14 hexokinaseglucokinase and key glycolytic genes.
