White adipocytes function as major energy reservoirs in humans by storing substantial amounts of triglycerides, and their dysfunction is associated with metabolic disorders; however, the mechanisms underlying cellular specialization during adipogenesis remain unknown. Here, we generate a spatiotemporal proteomi...
Calcium is absorbed across the brush border of the enterocytecell membraneby a mechanism that requires energy.Vitamin Dis essential to this process, and, when it is deficient, the active transport of calcium stops. Parathyroid hormone (parathormone) andgrowth hormonefrom thepituitary glandalso influen...
20 Glucose ingestion 5 hours after a high-fat meal decreases lipid stores in human enterocytes.9 In healthy men, under the conditions of constant intraduodenal feeding and a pancreatic clamp, subcutaneous injection of GLP-2 caused a rapid and transient increase in plasma TGs and TRL particles....
Potato has contributed to human diet for thousands of years, first in the Andes of South America and then in the rest of the world. Its contribution to the human diet is affected by cooking, potato intake levels, and the bioavailability of potato nutrien
Context: Intravenous/intramuscular glucagon stimulates hepatic glucose production and adipose lipolysis. Intranasal glucagon (ING) has recently been shown to be an effective treatment for hypoglycaemia. Intranasal administration of hormones increases its central nervous system (CNS) concentration with metabolic...
The most abundant mineral in the human body is A) sodium. B) potassium. C) phosphorus. D) calcium. E) hydrogen. Nutrients of the Body: Our bodies require a number of different nutrients, in varying quantities, for proper functioning. Carbohydrates...
Glycogen is also a polymer of glucose, but it is stored in the tissues of animals, especially in the muscles and liver. It is not considered a dietary carbohydrate because very little glycogen remains in animal tissues after slaughter; however, the human body stores excess glucose as glycogen,...

Glucose is in fact useful, even essential to the human body since it ought to provide the right amount of energy in order for the organism to survive and thrive, but when you have too much of it, the body eventually collapses under the pressure, much like a plant that is watered too ...
