Renee and Karl have been married for six years, and have two active children, ages 2 and 5. The kids keep both parents busy, cha

sing the kids around and, recently, preparing the oldest child for kindergarten. In addition, both Renee and Karl work full time, so there isn’t a lot of free time to do things that are important to their health, like see the doctor for regular physicals. Both are healthy, so they haven’t been too worried. Renee went for routine physical last week and had blood work drawn. (It had been three years since her last physical.) The doctor called during the day with some worrying results. After putting the kids to bed, Renee was ready to talk through the results with Karl. Karl, with a worried look on his face, asked what was up. Renee told him that her cholesterol levels were very high. In fact, her total cholesterol was 220. Her HDL was 20, and her LDL was 200.

Describes the hypoglycemic effect of insulin?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Insulin causes hypoglycemia by :

1) Increasing the uptake of glucose from the blood by the liver and muscle.

2) Increase glycogen synthesis by liver and muscle.

3) Increased utilization of glucose by increasing glycolysis.

4) Increased uptake of glucose from the blood by adipose tissue converting it into fats.

Explanation:

Excess insulin or other diabetes medications may cause the blood sugar level to drop too low, causing hypoglycemia. Insulin regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat. Insulin decreases the blood sugar levels by increaing their transport in the cells and causing its breakdown too.

Hypoglycemia causes dizziness weakness hunger trembling palpitations. Excess hypoglycemia may damage the brain causing seizures and loss of conciousness.
