KIN 155 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: White Bread, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Document Summary
Effects of physical activity on type ii diabetes: reduce blood glucose. Improve insulin sensitivity: decrease other cv risk factors. Insulin mediated glucose uptake occurs primarily in skeletal muscle: directly related to the amount of lean muscle tissue one has. Insulin sensitivity is inversely related to the amount of fat mass one has. Ice cream broken down in stomach to glucose glucose is absorbed broken down into. Atp used for muscle contraction (working out) Acute effects of exercise on blood glucose levels. In non-diabetics with good insulin response, blood glucose levels do not decrease rapidly: glucose output by liver matches demands (keep blood glucose levels normal) Insulin production by beta cells is reduced: this occurs in dose-response fashion. In hyperglycemic individuals, a noticeable decrease in blood glucose occurs: overtime, regular activity will decrease insulin secretion and improves insulin sensitivity. How much exercise necessary for prevention: depends on diet.
