Glucose is the main energetic source to the organism, including the brain, and it can be obtained by the food and by metabolic process involving the liver and pancreas. Changes on glycemia can be extremely dangerous to the body, and to avoid them there are several physiological mechanisms to keep the glucose levels at a regular range, which involves pancreatic hormones insulin and glucago…
Glucose is the most important energy substrate for the body, so it is vital to rigorously regulate blood glucose levels. Insulin is the main anabolic hormone that regulates glucose homeostasis, being responsible for glucose uptake and decrease of glycemia in the post-prandial period. In addition to its peripheral actions, insulin exerts a range of actions on the central nervous system, li…
