  2. Glucokinase regulatory protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucokinase_regulatory_protein

    The glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) also known as glucokinase (hexokinase 4) regulator (GCKR) is a protein produced in hepatocytes (liver cells). GKRP binds and moves glucokinase (GK), thereby controlling both activity and intracellular location [1] [2] of this key enzyme of glucose metabolism.

  3. Glucose cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_cycle

    The glucose cycle can occur in liver cells due to a liver specific enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase, which catalyse the dephosphorylation of glucose 6-phosphate back to glucose. Glucose-6-phosphate is the product of glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis, where the goal is to increase free glucose in the blood due body being in catabolic state. Other ...

  4. Glucokinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucokinase

    Phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) by glucokinase is the first step of both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis in the liver. When ample glucose is available, glycogen synthesis proceeds at the periphery of the hepatocytes until the cells are replete with glycogen.

  5. Diabetes in dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_in_dogs

    Diabetes mainly affects middle-aged and older dogs, but there are juvenile cases. [3] [4] [5] The typical canine diabetes patient is middle-aged, female, and overweight at diagnosis. [6] The number of dogs diagnosed with diabetes mellitus has increased three-fold in thirty years.

  6. Insulin signal transduction pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_signal...

    Conversely, when the blood glucose levels are too high, the pancreas is signaled to release insulin. Insulin is delivered to the liver and other tissues throughout the body (e.g., muscle, adipose). When the insulin is introduced to the liver, it connects to the insulin receptors already present, that is tyrosine kinase receptor. [15]

  7. Lipolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipolysis

    The glycerol also enters the bloodstream and is absorbed by the liver or kidney where it is converted to glycerol 3-phosphate by the enzyme glycerol kinase. Hepatic glycerol 3-phosphate is converted mostly into dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DHAP) and then glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GA3P) to rejoin the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathway. [15]

  9. Hyperglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperglycemia

    Low insulin levels and/or insulin resistance prevent the body from converting glucose into glycogen (a starch-like source of energy stored mostly in the liver), which in turn makes it difficult or impossible to remove excess glucose from the blood. With normal glucose levels, the total amount of glucose in the blood at any given moment is only ...
