The effect of ethanol on glucose homeostasis

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1978
The effect of an intravenous infusion of ethanol was examined on the rates of hepatic glucose production (Ra) and overall glucose utilization (Rd) in conscious dogs in the postabsorptive state under basal conditions and in insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, after a 4-day fast or in diabetes.

Mechanisms of blood glucose homeostasis

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1990
SummaryThe mechanisms by which glycogen metabolism, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are controlled in the liver both by hormones and by the concentration of glucose are reviewed. The control of glycogen metabolism occurs by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of both glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase catalysed by various protein kinases and

Hepatocytes: critical for glucose homeostasis

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2004
Maintaining blood glucose levels within a narrow range is a critical physiological function requiring multiple metabolic pathways and involving several cell types, including a prominent role for hepatocytes. Under hormonal control, hepatocytes can respond to either feeding or fasting conditions by storing or producing glucose as necessary.

Atypical Antipsychotics and Glucose Homeostasis

The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 2005
Persistent reports have linked atypical antipsychotics with diabetes, yet causative mechanisms responsible for this linkage are unclear. Goals of this review are to outline the pathogenesis of nonimmune diabetes and to survey the available literature related to why antipsychotics may lead to this disease.We accessed the literature regarding atypical ...

Genetic determinants of glucose homeostasis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012
Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder characterised by varying degrees of impairment in insulin secretion and resistance to the action of insulin. Considerable progress has been made recently in understanding the genetic determinants of diabetes. A logical next step is to describe how these variants relate to the underlying pathophysiological

Glucose Homeostasis in Viral Hepatitis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1970
Abstract Fasting hypoglycemia (plasma glucose level below 60 mg per 100 ml) was observed in eight of 15 consecutive patients with acute viral hepatitis. Plasma insulin levels were decreased 30 per cent in the eight hypoglycemic patients. The plasma glucose response to glucagon was 1/3 that of normal controls, and was not improved by a high-carbohydrate

Glucose Homeostasis in the Postoperative State

1973
The postoperative period is a unique and complex state caused by the controlled injury of surgery, anesthetic agents, and starvation. These factors produce profound physiologic and metabolic alterations which subject homeostatic mechanisms to stress.

Glucose homeostasis, obesity and diabetes

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2013
Plasma glucose levels are maintained within a narrow range in normal individuals. Both insulin-dependent and insulin-independent processes contribute to fasting and postprandial plasma glucose regulation. The brain and nervous system are insulin independent.

Glucose Homeostasis

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the abnormalities of glucose homeostasis which give several fascinating insights into metabolism in general and the metabolism of neoplastic tissue in particular. When the homeostatic mechanism system breaks down in man—as it often does in patients with neoplasia—it implies a serious disruption of one or more ...
