The cells in the small intestine contain what are known as transport proteins. These allow our bodies to get the nutrients into the blood, where they can be distributed where they’re needed. The different means by which fructose and glucose are absorbed are the reasons for the 2:1 ratio w...
cells are better able to absorb glucose from the circulation. Combine weight training with aerobic exercises (such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling) to get the most out of your workout. Before beginning any
The simplest carbohydrate isglucose. Glucose, also called "blood sugar" and "dextrose," flows in thebloodstreamso that it is available to everycellin your body. Your cells absorb glucose and convert it into energy to drive the cell. Specifically, a set of chemical reactions on glucose creates...
A close-up of blood cells Sebastian Kaulitzki/iStockphoto.com Do you ever wonder what makes up blood? Unless you need to have blood drawn, donate it or have to stop its flow after an injury, you probably don't think much about it. But blood is the most commonly tested part of the...
How do functional groups affect organic reactions of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in living systems? Why would it be unhealthy to obtain all of your protein from wheat? Why are the E.colibacteria in your colon beneficial? What do...
Carbs, especially refined carbohydrates, are quickly converted into glucose and sent throughout your body. This sugar rush triggers your pancreas to release insulin—which prompts cells in your body to absorb glucose and convert it into energy. The more you eat carbs, however, the less sensitive...

s your cells to absorb glucose, which is used for energy. In the process, glucose displaces liquids in your cells, and GoBe 2’s impedance sensor measures these cellular changes by sending high and low-frequency signals through your tissue to determine the volume of liquid in your cells....
Glutamine also provides the brain with analternative source of energyto glucose, the brain’s usual fuel. Glutamine usually comes as a powder that you mix with water. You can take it every few hours as needed to help stabilize blood sugar levels and banish cravings for sugar. ...
