Glucose is the main and preferred source of energy for the body. Poly- and oligosaccharides contained in foods are broken down into glucose. The liver and kidney also make glucose in the process of gluconeogenesis. In order to ensure the euglycemia necessary for metabolic processes in the cells glucose levels are carefully regulated to around 90 mg/dL (

Regulation of Glucose Homeostasis by Glucocorticoids [PDF]
Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that regulate multiple aspects of glucose homeostasis. Glucocorticoids promote gluconeogenesis in liver, whereas in skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue they decrease glucose uptake and utilization by antagonizing insulin response.

Screening for Impaired Glucose Homeostasis: A Novel Metric of Glycemic Control
Objective: To investigate the use of a mathematical model of glucose homeostasis, fit to continuous glucose monitor data, as a metric of dysfunctional glycemic control. Patients and Methods: Three hundred eighty four participants recruited from 2 studies

Interaction of glucose sensing and leptin action in the brain
Background: In response to energy abundant or deprived conditions, nutrients and hormones activate hypothalamic pathways to maintain energy and glucose homeostasis. The underlying CNS mechanisms, however, remain elusive in rodents and humans.

Bitter taste receptors influence glucose homeostasis. [PDF]
TAS1R- and TAS2R-type taste receptors are expressed in the gustatory system, where they detect sweet- and bitter-tasting stimuli, respectively. These receptors are also expressed in subsets of cells within the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, where they

How dietary amino acids and high protein diets influence insulin secretion
Glucose homeostasis is the maintenance and regulation of blood glucose concentration within a tight physiological range, essential for the functioning of most tissues and organs. This is primarily achieved by pancreatic secretion of insulin and glucagon.

AMPK is essential for energy homeostasis regulation and glucose sensing by POMC and AgRP neurons [PDF]
Hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been suggested to act as a key sensing mechanism, responding to hormones and nutrients in the regulation of energy homeostasis.

Nutrient infusion in the dorsal vagal complex controls hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism in rats
Summary: Hypothalamic regulation of lipid and glucose homeostasis is emerging, but whether the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) senses nutrients and regulates hepatic nutrient metabolism remains unclear.

Magnesium and glucose homeostasis [PDF]
Magnesium is an important ion in all living cells being a cofactor of many enzymes, especially those utilising high energy phosphate bounds. The relationship between insulin and magnesium has been recently studied. In particular it has been shown that magnesium plays the role of a second messenger for insulin action; on the other hand, insulin itself ...
