Insulin 3: How is glucose stored? And how is it later un-stored? 

Outstanding videos. I just wish you covered what ketones are if they are as big of a deal as keto fans make them out to be. Ketosis and such.

Wow Brilliant presentation!

Great videos! I am a nursing student and I learn much better with pictures and graphs, great to find your videos.

Your videos are absolutely awesome 🤩. Thank you so much for these

Hi. It was so informative and educational. Thanks. What software do you use for creating these videos?

How does the body know whether to store the glucose in the muscle vs the liver vs the fat? I’d love all of my glucose to please only go into my muscles, from now on until forever. Thanks muscle cells! But seriously... how does the body know which of the 3 go store it in and how can I make it so that all my glucose cells stand at the door of opportunity to be greeted only ever by my muscle cells. Thank you

So simple and so good, thank you.

It takes 18 to 24 hours of fasting for Liver Storage to be depleted. How long to fast for Fat Cell Storage to start releasing fatty, and triglycerides for energy use?

Probably the best video I’ve seen that actually goes in depth thanks !

4:38, these reactions are essentially told to occur by glucagon which is released by the pancreas. OR WHEN YOU PANIC, when too much glucose goes rushes to the brain, causing an overload. Where you can't, think clearly enough. Like when a cop pulls you over. SUGAR, destroys the brain, and organs. You could have the greatest brain in the world, BUT IT NEEDS, to have perfect regulation to work efficient. This also goes for your heart and eyes. You could cut health care cost by, 65% in America and improve EDUCATION by 65%. BY regulating and daily management intake of your body. Plus, a daily lite workout, where, your bring oxygen into the body and brain.

Wow it’s very easy to understand and very well explained Thanks a lot.

Wow, super! thank you.

How many hours of fasting for the fat cells to un-store the fatty acids & triglyceride and back into the blood stream for use?

THANK YOU. so simple

great video you explained everything clearly I learned a lot with the video

This has a fundamental problem in chemical theory: Glucose has a chemical formula of C6H12O6. The simplest triglyceride has a formula of C6H8O6, so in order to carry out a chemical reaction to convert glucose into a triglyceride you need a reduction equation to remove a minimum of 4 Hydrogen atoms. But because the equation must be balanced according to the law of atomic conservation, those 4 Hydrogen atoms must bind to something to form a tertiary compound. The problem: its chemically impossible to carry out this type of equation / reaction without starting a fire (elemental hydrogen is extremely reactive and is an explosive in the presence of O2 - forming LOX fuel.) Therefore, this entire thing is incorrect from the chemical standpoint because it's chemically impossible - without accounting for the tertiary hydrogen compound formed.

I am a type 2 diabetic and getting into competitive swimming. I manage my BS pretty well but when I swim, average 2 to 3k yards, my BS spikes. And at the end of swimming I feel like garbage. I'm thinking should I be taking insulin during my swim sessions?? I am a disabled Vet w a head injury and am trying to understand how this works. I have started lifting weights to increase muscle mass.

The process by which the body converts sugar into fat directly is called De Novo Lipogenesis. It is very rarely used by the body because it consumes 1/3 of the calories being used in the conversion process. As such it is a wasteful and expensive option for the body, which normally likes to be very efficient with calories. You don't explain that part. In order to obtain full glycogen stores from a state or nearly empty you basically have to consume at least 1400 calories of carbohydrates plus whatever is used in digestion, then you're fully loaded. After that the body will use excess carbohydrates to generate extra body heat, increase metabolic activity in general and also dump excess glucose in the urine. Finally, if all that is being deployed and still there are excess carbohydrates coming in, day after day, the body will then start doing De Novo Lipogenesis and creating fat. It will stop this process as soon as it is no longer needed. The body far and away prefers to keep glycogen or glucose as they are than covert it to fat directly. However, a fat calorie consumed goes directly to get stores within minutes or hours. Whereas carbs are constantly being burned off.

If muscles are selfish and don’t release glycogen back into the blood and the liver can only hold a few hundred calories which will be burnt up in several hours why is it that most experts say it takes 24-36 hours for your body to enter ketosis?

A very succinct definition, thanks.

How many hours of fasting to use up all fatty acids & triglycerides stored in the fat cells?

I LOVE YOU THANK U THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH

Can the body enter keyosis if your skeletal muscle is still filled with glycogen considering you said that skeletal muscle doesn’t re-release glycogen back into the blood stream

What kind of time does it take for glucagon levels to be affected? For example when doing sports and eating a sugary drink during that activity that will spike your glucose levels, will that reduce the amount the glucagon produced and therefore might actually impacting the available energy in a negative was during that activity?

How is in here that think,...I now know how blood sugar and diabetes start! Thank you so much for uploading these videos.

great explanation

Thank you. I finally understand this matter clearly.

Question, what about brain cells? How they store energy?

is there an insulin 4 as it seems to stop abruptly?

Thank you ! I FINALLY 'get' it !

It would have been good to also chart the glucose concentration on the same chart.

glucose is stored in the balls

i am obese, i think the most effective way to lose weight is to go fasting and avoid sugar. superb video.

What hormon convert fats to glucose

You made it so easy to understand

bro u save us so much time tq

Great vids man. Thanks a mil

Super explanation dude, thanks for clearing that up

Thanks but next stop is how all this relates to hunger pangs. If body getting energy from glucagons instructing stores to release energy out then why is body still asking me to eat?

Suppose I'm going low in blood sugar level.And I've not eaten anything.So my body will use stored glycogen and fat. My question is, will the glucagon help releasing the stored glucose into blood till the blood sugar level is normal? Or till it's lil higher than normal? Cause as per my knowledge insulin is released during hyperglycemia, that is when blood sugar level is higher. And because of insulin the cells are unlocked and glucose goes inside the cells for either being processed as energy or being stored as glycogen.

Thank you for all the information. Thats very valuable and very very well explained....all of the three parts.

what about the Brain?

Hi, a Brit here Type 1, very interesting videos and very well presented. Cheers !!

Thank you so much

Thank You for that

Very well done :)

Awesome video

Thanks a lot

🙏

Thanks

Where this video was hidden? thanks!

They s was very informative

merci beaucoup, jʻapprecie

Thank you so much

Now do a video like this but about ketones instead :)

But why is it stored as glycogen & not as free glucose?

Thank you

Superb video

Awsome clarity
