Pancreas: Glucose homeostasis
alpha cells
glucagon
increase level of glucose and other metab fuels in blood
Muscle tissue
protein breakdown to release AA for gluconeogenesis
adipose tissue
release fats
addtional source of fuel
Liver
gluconeogenesis
ketone bodies from fatty acids
can be a fuel for the body
glycogenolysis
break down glycogen to glucose
Beta cells
Insulin
antagonist of glucagon
promote satiety
promote uptake of nutrients in target cells
result- lowers level of glucose in blood
uptake of lipids, AAs, glucose
liver
synthesis of glycogen
glycogen= storage form of glucose
synthesis of fat from lipids/carbohydrates
cardiac muscle
skeletal muscle
brain
delta cells cells
somatostatin
