Regarding the relationship between low blood glucose and glucagon release... it looks confusing. But I guess the explanation by Ninja Nerd is the best at present moment. The link between low concentrations of glucose and depolarization of the cell membrane is still under debate. According to one of the hypotheses, they think ATP-dependent K+ channels (KATP) plays important roles as in beta cells but the downstream link seems to be not clear yet. At moderate inhibition of KATP (low glucose concentration), membrane is moderately depolarized to open Na+ channels, resulting in the opening of voltage-dependent calcium channels. At high glucose concentration, KATP is strongly inhibited and the membrane potential is strong enough to inactivate Na+ channels, and calcium channels cannot be activated. This is just one of the current hypothesis, and it is not still clear why this does not apply in the regulation of insulin secretion in beta cells.
@@Easypeasy007 there's video on insulin just before watch that first and then this ..you will know why I got confused and the above explaination ..then I guess you might get answer to your doubt ..if not then I'll explain you ..
For anyone perplexed about the Ca Channels, I think the answer is : Voltage-activated calcium channels can be divided into two subgroups based on their activation threshold, low-voltage-activated (LVA) and high-voltage-activated (HVA).
Now I got it right. For Alpha cell the membrane is embedded by LVA calcium channel and for Beta cell it's HVA calcium channel. It's just a matter of cell type.
You all people....Thank you so much for being involved and to initiate this kind of discussion on calcium channel...❤ Its really really very helpful...
i had my endocrine exam today and it went absoleutuly great, actually i aced it, thank u sooo much for all of these videos. this whole endocrine palylist was soo detailed yet so easy to understand.
Hey ! I am studying Biotechnology and have some exams in a few weeks. I just wanted to tell you that your videos are incredibly well explained. I could just watch them for fun. Congratulations for all the work and effort and thank you very much :)
I am now a fan. You are becoming my favorite RUclips channel. I am so glad you exist as a person and you do what you do. Keep making these videos and I'll keep watching them. Look for a patreon donation coming your way.

Hi, Zach! I don't know if you'll read this, but I just want to say thank you for your free lectures here on YT... they help me on my med school tremendously! Having these lectures are truly making me learn some not so clear concepts on metabolism. You're awesome, dude! Keep transforming the student's lives through education!
yes !! i did enjoy the video !! and thank you for keeping these for free us students to learn and always come back to!! Much appreciation from a fellow med student.
surprisingly during my bodybuilding prep, your content has massively helped keep me productive & focused. I've learnt so much information from your videos which will significantly help me deliver a better service to my clients as a online nutritionist coach. Thank you
This man👨💼 is so firm, confident and understandable in the era where people opt for confusion related data. 🙌 Just so in love❤ with you, your teaching skills and your management skills 🙌✌🌟 Kindly keep doing what you do 😍💕🌠
AMAZING EXPLANATION! Wow, CLEAR explanation to the details! I'm a visual learner so your video really provides a complete picture for my understanding. Thank you very much! SUBSCRIBED!
Secretin inhibits Glucagon secretion , while CCK stimulates it. So you were partly correct originally. Love your work, Zach just can’t thank you enough for your amazing videos ❤️
@@frayedendsofsanity1733 I go over the video, bit at a time, draw the diagrams and make notes of the explanations. I use coloured, erasable pens and this allows me to correct mistakes. Doing this means that I am re-listening to the lecture plus writing it down and then reviewing it whenever I want. This means a lot of revision of the topic: re-listening, note-taking, drawing, re-reading. I think this might help to truly learn rather than looking at a print-out?? I don't know; we all learn differently.
Hello I hope you are doing well. Your video are really informative and enjoyable ❤ I actually have a confusion regarding the calcium channel. In this video you are saying that when there is increased glucose level, there is production of ATP which binds to the potassium channels causing their closure, in response to accumulation of K+, the calcium channel closes (6:35). while in the other video on insulin function, you mention it as that there is opening of calcium channels for its influx and release of insulin(11:15). It is creating a little confusing.😟
One thing for you is, you are my Super hero for biology, You gave me inspiration, and yeah man I am getting addicted to it. Thanks a lot for these lectures, and I gonna meet you one day Mr biologist
Hey man I got a question, in the video on Insulin you actually said that those Calcium channels open, to stimulate the insulin release to the blood, now you say when there is too much depolarization they close, I'm quiet confused with what you mean, if you could help me get this right, thank you in advance!
6:00 , but maybe it has do do with the different threshold levels for that Calcium channels in alpha and beta cell's? I understood what he said but not why it doesn't happen in the beta cell as well
Same! If ATP channels close and K+ accumulates, there should be a membrane depolarization which causes Ca++ channels open. Don't understand why would positive charge close the channels?
Okay,clearification for you guys since this guy refuses either to admit he is wrong about this topic or he either too cool to answer to us, forget what he said, when B cells release insulin caused by hyperglycemia it also secretes glutamate, that will have effect on alfa cells Cl- receptor channels, increasing uptake of cloride by cell and hyperpolarizing it. When the stimulus is low glucose levels this action of Cl- channels is inhubited because less glutamate is comming form b-cells and the alfa cell will depolarize, giving the threshold for Ca++ release into the cell
Packed with information and the drawings really help for someone like me that is a visual learner. Im actually a IT guy thus well done cruizin through the medical sections
In a short time presenting a lot of things ! If the time of lectures in this video would be one hour it would be so good to present all the information more simply & easily what you wanted to present that goes to be more understandable ! Lastly thanks a lot to present all these mechanisms deeply !!
The α-cells and β-cells have opposite Ca+ signaling patterns in response to glucose. At low glucose concentration, the cytosolic ATP/ADP ratio is low; KATP channels demonstrate a moderate activity, which situates the α-cells to a membrane potential that allows the opening of voltage-dependent T- and N-type Ca2 + channels. The resulting increased intracellular calcium concentrations, in turn, stimulate exocytosis and glucagon secretion. On the contrary, high glucose blocks KATP channels, which depolarizes the α-cells to a membrane potential range that suppresses the voltage-dependent Ca2 + channels. Consequently, Ca2 + signaling and glucagon release are blocked. (Adapted from Anatomy, Histology, and Function of the Pancreas. C. Shi, E. Liu, in Pathobiology of Human Disease, 2014)
Sir I have one question Actually a confusion....in previous lec. You talked directly about increase k+ ions and it stimulates opening of ca2+ channels and here you said that increased positive polarization inhibits the opening of ca+ ion channels..... please can you help me in clearing this confusion?!! Thank you !
Hi, Voltage-activated Ca channels can be divided into 2 subgroups based on their activation threshold: Low voltage activated LVA (Alpha) cells And High voltage activated HVA (Beta) cells.. Hope that makes sense!!
You are a heaven sent... Thank you soo much!!!!!! now I am feeling kinda Nerdy :D Great videos! very clear ! love it all, I don't even notice the time whenever I binge watch your videos..... Hope for some printed materials to guide medical students like me as well, practice quizzes and what not :)
Hi, some concept is wrong in this video. The opening of voltage-dependent N and T type -Ca channel and Na-channel is because of Katp channel. (opens with a low ATP/ADP level). when K flows out the membrane, locally, the membrane will depolarize and opens the Ca and Na channels. your video is still awesome for learning.
In 6:24 minute is there any wrong ??calicium channel will open when theris too much membrane potential not close please if ther is any one told me I really confuse
On the source i got. It seems that in Apha cells low ATP closes k+ channels. Which causes depolirasation, and as a results voltage sensitive ca++ channels will open. Whereas in Beta cells high ATP due to high glucose closes th k+ channels causing depolirasation also. And ca++ channels will open. U must be able to differentiate activities happening on beta and alpha cells
Adipose tissue contain both insulin and glucagon receptor which produces protein kinase A that stimulates different functions. How does the protein kinase A know which function to perform.
Love you sir,,sault to your effort,,you make very easy every topic for us,,a bundle of thanks sir...keep it up,,I am only depending on your sweet lecture...
In Beta cells, an increase in blood glucose levels ultimately leads to the production of more ATP which leads to the strong closure of ATP-dependent K+ channels (KATP) finally leading to the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels, n then calcium rushes inside the cell n helps in the release of insulin. In alpha cells, during low blood glucose levels, less ATP is synthesized, as alpha cells have ATP sensitive KATP channels minimal ATP is enough to depolarise the cell. Hence, KATP channels are closed and calcium channels are opened, as a result, glucagon is released. Ideally, the thing here is that when there is a high blood glucose level more ATP is produced inside the Alpha cell which should actually lead to even more tight closure of KATP channels(bcz they are MORE ATP SENSITIVE) and opening of voltage-gated calcium channels and even more glucagon release. Contrarily, it was explained that calcium channels will be closed upon production of more ATP which means calcium channels behave differently in alpha cells. In some other youtube channel, it was explained that KATP channels behave differently in alpha cells where little ATP leads to closure of KATP channels while more ATP leads to opening of KATP channels and calcium channels function remains the same i.e. closure of KATP leads to opening of calcium channels and the opening of KATP leads to the closure of calcium channels. Even there's no clear explanation in scientific papers too. Now, I'm confused Which channels behave differently in alpha cells KATP channels or Voltage-gated calcium channels? Can somebody please help me with this?
i have seen his all biochem videos and at 1.7x speed and its damn good at that speed idk may be its only me who did that. but he is slow for normal but god mod at that speed .
Hi. Recent studies indicate a very low expression of glucagon receptors on white adipocytes, and that "the glucagon family of peptides provide modest to no control of adiposity by acting directly on adipocytes" (reviewed in Endocrinology. 2020 Feb; 161(2)) Yet in several lectures you describe glucagon as the effector of lipolysis in adipocytes. Could you please comment?
So when we have hypoglycemia, and so glucagon starts to act, it converts amino acids,glycogen and glycerol into glucose. But what do you say about the fact when your insulin is not functioning as it is supposed to, for example with people who has diabetes, and so they end up with active insulin but too low blood sugar aka hypoglycemia? Becase at that point, you need glucose of course, but you can't free up triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids because of insulin inhibits the HSL. What is your opinion about this? For me it seems like that all we have now to convert into glucose is: Glycogen stores (if we haven't used them up) and amino acids (which can be problematic due to it may strip out amino acids from the muscle protein, due to a couple certain factors)
So what I mean here is that the utilization of fat is blocked via Insulin. Thereby we can't access the metabolic state of ketosis, and as an extra - we miss another way to increase blood sugar when there's a need for it.
