What Is the Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Signaling in the Nervous System and Its Potential Neuroprotective Effects?Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-l) is a potent stimulator of insulin secretion, inhibitor of glu
Explain fluid, electrolytes, and acid and bases in a simple term. Describe the function of insulin. Explain the role of insulin and glucagon on diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia, respectively. (a) What produces insulin? (b) What is the function of insulin in the body?
What is a major function of pancreatic juice? Do pancreatic cells have a nucleus? What types of cells perform glucose catabolism? How does the liver produce glucose? Explain the roles of insulin and glucagon in regulating blood glucose levels. ...
Glucagon is a peptide of 29 amino acids with a variety of biological actions including, but not limited to, glucose homeostasis. It could stimulate glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis and thus act in opposition to the glucose-lowering effects of insulin. Its physiological effects are very interesting...

Insulins are usually grouped as fast-acting, intermediate-acting, or long-acting. Within these groups, they can be further classified as human insulin and human insulin analogs. An insulin analog is a human insulin that has one or two amino acids changed which affects how quickly it is ...
The observation that physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease dates back more than 70 years ago and it is now established that regular PA reduces all-cause mortality, in part, by reducing the risk of numerous chronic diseases including coronary heart disease, stroke, ca...
Secondly we outline the protective role of weight loss, metabolic and caloric modifying interventions in the context of AD and PD. We conclude that the application of caloric restriction through dietary changes, bariatric (metabolic) surgery and gut hormone therapy may offer novel therapeutic ...
Earlier hepatocyte culture studies offer some insights into the role of TNF-α in hepatocyte proliferation. A study found that while EGF alone did not promote hepatocyte proliferation in culture, the combination of EGF and TNF-α stimulates proliferation in ~35% of cultured hepatocytes81by mediating...
What role do hormones play in homeostasis? How does homeostasis control blood pressure? What are the three mechanisms for hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose levels) that occurs in uncontrolled Type 1 diabetes? Explain the roles of insulin and glucagon in regulating blood glucose levels. ...
