your blood sugar levels. You probably start to realize you haven’t consumed food in some time. Food plays a major function throughout our bodies on a daily basis. Our blood glucose levels are affected by the glycemic index ranked in foods. Foods high in carbohydrates are measured by how much it raises our blood glucose levels after being consumed. The glycemic index focuses on the quality‚ not quantity of the carbohydrates. Why is the glycemic index important‚ how is it measured‚ and what factors

with the body’s immune system. The problem with Type II diabetes is that the beta cells do not produce enough insulin in the body. As a result of this problem‚ the cells in the body do not react to the insulin in the body because they cannot admit glucose through the membranes of the cells. Scientists have yet to determine exactly what causes Type II diabetes‚ but they do know that it is caused by multiple factors. There are several factors‚ such as genetics‚ obesity‚ and physical inactivity

Utilization of glucose by the muscle and liver cell cultures was enhanced by the water and n-hexane/isopropanol extract of the plant but not on adipose cells (Erasto et al.‚ 2009). In another study‚ oral intake of hot water V. amygdalina leaves extract (500 mg/kg) reduced blood glucose concentration of both normoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic rats induced by alloxan (Osinubi‚ 2007). 2.4.2.3 Antioxidant activity Several studies have shown that V. amygdalina possess antioxidant activity (Yeap et al

The second test ( Bag: 5% ovalbumin Beaker: 1 M sucrose) we put biuret in a test tube with the beaker solution and the indicator showed negative results. Then for the next test (Bag: 1 M Glucose Beaker: distilled H2O) they put Benedict’s solution in a test tube with the beaker liquid. The benedicts showed positive results.
