If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).

Musya8 [376]

This is because not all genes are expressed at the same time, so not all the proteins are present at a certain moment. The mechanisms that cell uses to control gene expression are called regulation of the gene expression. Thanks to regulation of the genes, cells have the ability to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products such as proteins. This property is important for the adaptability of an organism because it allows the cell to express protein when needed.

shutvik [7]
Hi there!

#1 Washing you’re hands after touching anything that may be dirty, or even just using the restroom.

#2 Disinfecting door nobs, handles, desks and things you may touch on a daily basis.

#3 Stay away from those you may think are sick.

#4 Having those around you remember to cover their mouths and noses while sneezing.

Remember to do this using the pit of you’re elbows NOT you’re hands. This can spread germs more easily.

Hope this helps you!
