|
Role of Glucagon
|
High blood sugar level Stimulates glycogen breaking down. Fat conversion --> Glucose
|
|
Role of Insulin
|
Low blood sugar level Stimulates glycogen production Stimulate storage of fat, protein synthesis goes up
|
|
Type I Diabetes
|
Child onsetInsulin-dependent diabetesDon't produce insulin (high blood sugar levels)
|
|
Type II Diabetes
|
Adult onset >40 yrsProduce insulin, but receptors don't work Insulin resistant
