Il.f.l.1. Insulins. Insulin is the most effective of diabetes medications. Insulin has profound effects on carbohydrate, protein, fat metabolism and electrolytes. It has anabolic and anticatabolic actions. In a state of insulin deficiency, glycogenesis, glucose transport, protein synthesis, triglyceride synthesis, LPL activity in adipose tissue, cellular potassium uptake all decrease on the other hand, gluconeogene-sis, glycogenolysis, protein degradation, ketogene-sis, lipolysis increase. 

Endocrine Influences. A number of hormones are known to influence carbohydrate metabolism in the mammal. Insulin seems to increase oxidation of glucose, lipogenesis. and glycogenesis. Its primary mode of action may be io facilitate the entry of glucose into the cell.

After a carbohydrate-rich meal, glucose is distributed into tissues and then subsequently converted to the fuel stores of glycogen (glycogenesis) and triglyceride (lipogenesis), or catabolized by oxidation to carbon dioxide (via glycolysis and the Krebs cycle). 

All the free energy consumed in biological systans arises from solar energy that is trapped by the process of photosynthesis. The overall process can be represented by Equation 11.54, but it actually proceeds by a series of reactions some of which are quite complicated and not fully understood. The end product, the carbohydrate glucose, C6H,20g, is actually stored in cells in the highly polymerised forms known as polysaccharides, (CgH,206) which are obtained from glucose by a process known as glycogenesis.

The possible conversion of fat to carbohydrate within the organism has been a subject of much controversy. While the glycerol component of the fat molecule can be transformed readily into liver glycogen, a carbohydrate precursor has not yet been identified among the products of fatty acid metabolism. The existence of a pituitary factor in carbohydrate metabolism has been established, and one of its effects is ascribed to promotion of glycogenesis from fatty acids.
