the fatty acid synthesis are organized into a multienzyme complex called fatty acid synthetase . Insulin is an indicator of the blood sugar level of the body‚ as its concentration increases proportionally with blood sugar levels. Thus a large insulin level is associated with the fed state. As one might expect therefore‚ it increases the rate of storage pathways‚ such as lipogenesis. Insulin stimulates lipogenesis in three main ways. Malonyl-coenzyme A In fat synthesis‚ the

involving the hormone insulin. The broken feedback loop makes it difficult or impossible for the body to bring high blood sugar down to a healthy level. To appreciate how diabetes occurs‚ let’s take a quick look at the basics of blood sugar regulation. In a healthy person‚ blood sugar levels are controlled by two hormones: insulin and glucagon. Insulin decreases the concentration of glucose in the blood. After eating a meal‚ the blood glucose levels rise‚ triggering the secretion of insulin from β cells in

There is another accessory organ that also dumps its products into the duodenum around the same area; this organ is called pancreas. Pancreas is very important‚ as it secretes probably the most important digestive enzymes into the small intestine; break down. The main enzymes secreted by the pancreas for digestion are lipases for lipid/fat digestion‚ pancreatic amylase for carbohydrate digestion which continues the breakdown of the starch in the bread to a substance called maltose.
