Document Summary
What are the ranges of a high medium and low glycemic load? less than or equal to 10 is low. 11-19 is medium greater than or equal to 20 is high. It is a transporter protein found in the muscle bre membrane that transports glucose. It triggers a cascade of enzymatic reactions that results in the transaction of glut4 to the muscle cell membrane. Lack of adh so less water reabsorption into the kidney. It is the threshold level go glucose in the blood where the kidneys can still reabsorb glucose before it starts entering the urine. Because glucose is not entering the urine water will follow through osmosis and thus make you dehydrated. Describe the interaction between insulin and the 7tm receptor. Insulin binds to the 7tm receptor and inhibits tg lipase. Because exercise transports glut4 to the muscle cell membrane. It is the largest category of lipids making up 98% and is found in both plants and animals.
