Step 3: the alpha-GTP complex migrates within the cell membrane and binds to and activates adenylyl cyclase

Step 4: activated adenylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP

**after catabolism of activated adenylyl cyclase, GTP is converted back to GDP by GTPase, and alpha subunit returns to its inactive state

Definition
FFA decreases as lactic acid increases
Term
Isled and aceacine are two types of tissue found where?
Definition
in the pancreas
Term
Explain the isles cells of the pancreas.
Definition
has alpha and beta cells which secrete insulin and glucagon
Term
Explain the aceacine cells of the pancreas.
Definition
release enzymes to help insulin and glucagon exhibit their effects
Term
Do you expect the ratio of insulin to glucose to become higher or lower after training?
Definition
higher due to the decrease in the release of glucagon
Term
T/F The ratio of glucagon to insulin is expected to become higher after exercise training.
Definition
false
glucagon:insulin would become lower
Term
T/F A trained individual has a higher ratio of insulin to glucagon, where an untrained individual has a lower ratio of insulin to glucagon. And vice versa.
Definition
True
Term
How can we use the ratio of insulin to glucagon to measure cardiovascular fitness?
Definition
measure the amount of insulin and glucagon.
find the ratio.
at two week or weekly intervals measure the amount of insulin and glucagon and determine the ratio.
the ratio of insulin to glucagon should become higher if the exercise training protocol is good.
if there is no change the protocol should be altered
Term
Why do untrained individuals have a lower insulin to glucagon ratio?
Definition
their body favors catabolic reaction because they use more energy to do the same amount of work.
glucagon has catabolic effects
Term
What is the indirect effect NE/E has on regulating blood sugar?
Definition
NE/E can activate the pancreas to stop insulin release and bind to alpha receptors to increase the release of glucagon.
Term
T/F The increase release of glucagon and decrease release of insulin favors anabolic effects.
Definition
False
favors catabolic effects
Term
When we increase exercise intensity out body uses mainly carbs as energy. When we increase duration our body mainly uses fat as energy. E/NE, GH, Cortisol, and glucagon can breakdown both fats and carbs. Why do we use more fat during prolonged exercise and more carbs during high intensity exercise?
Definition
due to the inhibitions of lipases.
during high intensity exercise H+ concentration increases, which inhibit HSL that are needed to breakdown fat.
high intensity also turns FFA into glycogen in the liver
Term
What is the difference between GH and testosterone?
Definition
GH only increases muscle mass
testosterone increases muscle mass and strength
Term
Is the relationship between lactic acid accumulation and plasma FFA a positive or negative one?
Definition
negative
