muscles hypoglycemia glucose triglycerides pancreas glucose transporters noncarbohydrate sources glycogen insulin high-protein meal hormones ketone bodies epinephrine carbohydrate-heavy meal glucagon liver 1. After eating a , blood glucose levels rise. 2. Glucagon and insulin are examples of chemical messengers called . 3. Insulin is produced in and released from the . 4. In response to insulin or glucagon, either glycogenesis or gluconeogenesis, respectively will take place in the . 5. Glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and in . 6. The body can either use for energy, convert it to glycogen, or store it as fat. 7. occurs when blood glucose level drops below 70 mg/dl. 8. As part of the response to increased blood glucose after a meal, insulin triggers the number of on the cell membranes in the body to be increased. 9. is a key hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a key role in regulating blood glucose levels after a meal. 10. is the storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles of humans and animals. 11. Glucose is converted to for storage in fat tissue. 12. is a key hormone produced by the pancreas that plays an important role in regulating blood glucose levels during times of fasting. 13. Gluconeogenesis in the liver results in the conversion of to glucose.
