Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas to be destroyed‚ preventing the body from being able to produce enough insulin to adequately regulate blood glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes may sometimes be referred to as juvenile diabetes‚ because it is commonly diagnosed in children and the condition can develop at any age. Insulin dependent diabetes is another term used to describe type 1 diabetes. Since type 1 diabetes causes the loss of insulin

the present study‚ the key gluconeogenic enzyme G6P activity was assayed in liver of diabetic rats because the liver is the main organ responsible for maintaining homeostasis of blood glucose. The activity of G6P is enhanced during diabetes [31]. The dearrangement in carbohydrate metabolism results in impaired glucose homeostasis leading to hyperglycaemia. WSREt and WSLEt replenished liver glycogen stores and suppressed the hepatic gluconeogenesis by decreasing activity of G6P. This result is accordance

oxaloacetate‚ all of which are precursors to glucose via gluconeogenesis. All amino acids except lysine and leucine are at least partly glucogenic. Lysine and leucine are the only amino acids that are solely ketogenic‚ giving rise only to acetylCoA or acetoacetylCoA‚ neither of which can bring about net glucose production. A small group of amino acids comprised of isoleucine‚ phenylalanine‚ threonine‚ tryptophan‚ and tyrosine give rise to both glucose and fatty acid precursors and are thus characterized

environment. Blood glucose refers to the sugar that is transported through the bloodstream to supply energy to all the cells in our bodies. Cells in the body need glucose for respiration through mitochondria‚ which produces ATP- the energy source for all processes of cells. The human body regulates blood glucose levels so that they are neither too low nor too high- maintaining a condition of stability or equilibrium (homeostasis). It is significant that the concentration of glucose in the blood is maintained

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which the individual has high blood glucose levels as a result of the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin‚ or as a result of the cells in the body not responding to the insulin produced. The aim of this documentation is to outline the normal regulation of blood glucose levels in the body which includes the role of the hormone producing alpha cells and beta cells in regulating these levels‚ and the effect that the pathophysiology of diabetes
