Topic > The effect of glucose on blood glucose levels - 1626

Introduction (20%)-The information is used to provide a thorough and convincing argument for the hypothesis-Detailed and comprehensive for specific treatment, outcome measurable and context. Introductory paragraph on the broad field of research. Each subsequent paragraph becomes more specific, so together they provide all the relevant background information needed to understand the hypothesis. Finally, at the end of the section, you should state the scope of the experiment you intend to perform and your hypotheses. Glucose metabolism is primordial for the correct functioning of the organism, a balance in its levels could lead to diseases and ultimately death. Glucose is used as an energy source for muscle contraction since its degradation produces ATP (Chen et al., 2010). Blood glucose levels (BGL) are regulated by hormones produced in the pancreas; Insulin (Perelis et al., 2015) and glucagon (Tirosh, 2014), which work together to maintain healthy levels in the body. Insulin promotes the absorption of glucose from the blood into muscles and fat to be converted into glycogen and used as an energy reserve. Insulin then lowers BGL in its presence. Glucagon, on the other hand, promotes the degradation of glycogen to ensure the release of glucose, which will then be used as a source of ATP to enable energy expenditure by the organism (Chen et al., 2010). Exercise after ingestion of a meal decreases glucose levels and blocks endogenous glucose levels. glucose production, as glucose is used as a source of ATP to enable muscle contraction. BGL decreases faster in individuals who exercise than in individuals who do not (Jeukendrup et al., 1999). In the present experiment the effect of exercise on blood glucose levels after a meal will be studied. It is predicted that after... middle of article......glucose metabolism among men and women in all age groups (Basu et al., 2006). Dietary habits can also play an important role in glucose homeostasis. A regular protein-rich diet could affect insulin and glucagon secretion and could affect gluconeogenesis and blood glucose levels (Linn et al., 2000). In conclusion, we have presented data that support exercise following the ingestion of a high-glucose meal decreases blood glucose levels compared to the glucose levels of individuals who have rested, as shown in Figure 1. This it could be the basis for further research on glucose homeostasis. Future studies are needed to clarify the mechanism by which glucose is metabolized during recovery and how the hormones insulin and glucagon control it but increase its use during subsequent exercise.
