Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothalamic neuronal glucose-sensing mechanisms Two types of glucose-sensing neurons are present in the hypothalamus: glucose-excited and glucose-inhibited neurons. Glucose-excited neurons are activated by increased glucose levels, whereas hypoglycaemic conditions cause activation of glucose-inhibited neurons [5].
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. High BG levels stimulate the release of insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken up and used by insulin-dependent tissues, such as muscle cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin has an effect on a number of cells, including muscle, red blood, and fat. In response to insulin, these cells absorb glucose out of the blood, having the net effect of lowering the high blood glucose levels into the normal range.
