The muscle has glut4 receptors and doesn’t always need insulin to move glucose into the cells. Movement brings those receptors to the cell membrane to allow glucose in without insulin. But the rest was great! I just thought I should mention that.
I have always wondered how a body gets energy without insulin (ie a diabetic before they start using insulin). So, some sugar still gets through without insulin? Correct?
Correct me if I am wrong . Liver and muscle can only hold certain grams of glycogen. After intake of food if those stores are already full e.g. if I eat a donut 30 min after my lunch that will go straight to fat rather than liver and muscles glycogen? In breaking a fast if I eat exactly the amount of calories liver can store. I would never get fat? Then eat again based on my bmr that liver would be empty by now. I read that atp uses muscle glycogen which are extreme efforts . So in normal cardio muscle glycogen is not broken down? What measures one must take that most of his food goes into muscle and liver glycogen rather than stored as fat
When the insulin levels are suppressed, how do the glucose generated by glucagon enters the cell, where insulin needs to function as a key for glucose entry ?
Good question. There is always some insulin in the bloodstream, enough for glucose to be used for cellular respiration. If levels become ultra low we end up with complications like DKA!
the body breaks down more fats for energy when glucose, and therefore insulin levels, are low. Low insulin levels promote the secretion of glucagon which stimulates the breaking down of fats.
Glycogen is mostly stored in the liver (with some being stored in the muscle and fat cells). Glucagon will indeed convert glycogen back to glucose in fat and muscle cells. It also breaks down fat into amino acids for use as energy. Hope thats helpful.
Suggestions to make things even simpler. Say sugar and fat (not glucose and lipid). Say liver balances blood sugar from getting too high or too low ("control" is not as clear to layman).

I have a hard time processing information in general, especially if presented with an accent different from my own. You can slow the video down in the settings for it, you can also pre-read the video wods in the printed dialogue below the video. I can explain further of this is something you are interested in benefitting from but are unsure of how to access the things i mentioned. Be well ~
I struggle with this in general, in youtube you can slow the video down in settings on each video, you can also read the video in actual words in the video notes below the video title. I can walk you through both if you would like a quick tutorial - its super easy, no tech skill required. Be well ~

These diabetes series help me so much in understanding things simply. Thanks a lot. Please continue making more video
really glad they were helpful :)
my favorite part was the glucose conversion into glycogen, such a great animation!
glad you liked it :)
Finally understand the differnt types of 'glucose', animation very goodd!!!
glad it was helpful :)

Current anatomy and physiology student. Greatly appreciate the video
Glad it was helpful!

good point, thanks for the info!
But aren't Glut4 gate made with the help of insulin?

Best way I’ve seen it visually described - thanks!
Thanks Alexa! glad it was helpful :)
Looked at several videos, this one is EXCELLENT! so easy to understand now! thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This was very well made and I understood it easily. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you finally understood it in a very simple way ! You are Great !!!!!!!
Glad it helped!
I was searching for an explanation like this, thank you for this explanation
Glad it was helpful!
you are awesome, so easily the animation explain a complex mechanism
glad it was helpful :)
best video on this subject ive seen, good job.
many thanks Justin, glad you liked it!
Great work.
many thanks :)
So easy to understand. Thank you!
You're very welcome!

Very nice and informative video. Well done
Saving my butt for an exam thanks
lol happy to help!
it was so easy to undersatnd. Thank you for it
You are welcome!
loved this!!
many thanks :)
Wow a magnificent and complex mechanism. I wounder if that was designed by an intelligent creator or just happend by chance.
that is indeed a big question! I'm always fascinated by the complexity of biological systems
very good
glad they were helpful!
Amazing 😊
Thanks 😄
Excellent, many thanks.
You are welcome!
Good explain i understand same things thanks

So when does the body use fat for energy?
the body breaks down more fats for energy when glucose, and therefore insulin levels, are low. Low insulin levels promote the secretion of glucagon which stimulates the breaking down of fats.
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381does Metformin cause low insulin levels?
Thx for this video ❤️
your welcome :)
Excellent explanation, the animation really helped. Thank you. Strangest pronunciation of insulin I have ever heard.....but forgiveable :)
Many thanks, Im going to attribute my pronunciation to my region accent ;)
I need help I purchased Glycogen casules.Im type 2 diabetic, should I take these im confused.
Please help.
Hi, you need to speak to your Doctor.I would never advocate for medical advice based on a youtube video.
Very helpful video
Thanks Kevin :)
Such a great way to explain 👍
Thanks a lot 😊
Eating fats with sugar is a major cause of insulin resistance?
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Melhor explicação do mundo inteiro!!! Muito obrigada!! Se importa se eu dublar em português? hahaha
obrigado, por favor, faça!
i love daddys voice
thanks?

how did you animate this
adobe animate. I think you can sign up for a free trial if you want to give it a go!
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 ok, I'll pirate it
I hear the s in insulin pronounced as ch. Is the speaker from London?
from Nottingham...

It’s not “Inchulin”, it’s “Insulin”.
