Hormonal Control of Metabolism in Hamster Costovertebral Glands

Hormonal Control of Glucose Metabolism

Plasma glucose concentration is normally maintained within a narrow range despite wide fluctuations in the supply (meal) and demand (exercise) for nutrients. In adult humans, plasma glucose concentrations throughout a 24-hour period average 90 mg/ dl, with maximum values 60-90 minutes after meals, usually not exceeding 140 mg/ dl, and values during a moderate fast or exercise usually remaining ...

Hormonal and nonhormonal control of glycogen metabolism.

The hormonal control of fat metabolism in animals.

Of the three main components of the adult animal, bone, skeletal muscle and fat, the fat depots have the most variable growth rate. Growth of adipose tissue depends on the coordinated increase in cell size (hypertrophy) and cell number (hyperplasia) in the fat tissues. The endocrine system will affect the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes within the adipocyte and will influence t...

Control of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol metabolism by parathyroid glands.

Thyroparathyroidectomy of rats on a diet low in calcium reduces production of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol from 25-hydroxycholecalciferol to negligible levels within 40 hr, and increases production of another metabolite, called Va. Parathyroid extract, at a dose of 20 units per day, prevents these changes. When 40 units per day of parathyroid extract is given 48 hr after thyroparathyroidectomy...
