Blood glucose elevation

In these examples, precursors of the enzyme-catalysed reaction act as feed-forward inhibitors (AMP for PFK and citrate for FBPase). The plenty signal F26BP (elevated as a result of the precursor elevated blood glucose conditions) also activates PFK. Conversely, down the track , end products act as feedback inhibitors (ATP and citrate for PFK and F26BP - that can be loosely seen as an end product of blood glucose elevation by gluconeogenesis - for FBPase). 

The blood glucose-elevating effects of glucagon may be reduced by propranolol. 

Insulin resistance occurs when the normal response to a given amount of insulin is reduced. Resistance of liver to the effects of insulin results in inadequate suppression of hepatic glucose production insulin resistance of skeletal muscle reduces the amount of glucose taken out of the circulation into skeletal muscle for storage and insulin resistance of adipose tissue results in impaired suppression of lipolysis and increased levels of free fatty acids. Therefore, insulin resistance is associated with a cluster of metabolic abnormalities including elevated blood glucose levels, abnormal blood lipid profile (dyslipidemia), hypertension, and increased expression of inflammatory markers (inflammation). Insulin resistance and this cluster of metabolic abnormalities is strongly associated with obesity, predominantly abdominal (visceral) obesity, and physical inactivity and increased risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and renal disease, as well as some forms of cancer. In addition to obesity, other situations in which insulin resistance occurs includes... 

Loop and thiazide diuretics patients with diabetes mellitus Blood glucometer test results for glucose may be elevated (blood) or the urine positive for glucose Contact the primary health care provider if results of home testing of blood glucose levels increase or if urine tests positive for glucose... 

Diabetes mellitus is a complicated, chronic disorder characterized by either insufficient insulin production by the beta cells of die pancreas or by cellular resistance to insulin. Insulin insufficiency results in elevated blood glucose levels, or hyperglycemia As a result of the disease, individuals with diabetes are at greater risk for a number of disorders, including myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), blindness, kidney disease, and lower limb amputations. 

The nurse immediately reports any of the following symptoms of hyperglycemia elevated blood glucose levels (>200 mg/mi) headache increased thirst epigastric pain nausea vomiting hot, dry, flushed skin restlessness and diaphoresis (sweating).

Nickel accumulated in blood, liver, muscle, and especially in kidney 41... 

A major function of hGH is the promotion of anabolic activity, that is, bone and tissue growth due to increase in metabolic processes. Other biological effects of hGH are stimulation of protein synthesis, elevation of blood glucose level, and improvement of liver function.
