This document discusses glucose homeostasis and the maintenance of blood glucose levels. It explains that glucose homeostasis relies on a balance between glucose production in the liver and uptake by tissues. Insulin is a key regulator that promotes glucose uptake after meals and inhibits production during fasting. Other hormones like glucagon stimulate production when glucose levels drop. The document outlines the complex mechanisms that keep blood glucose within a narrow range to ensure the brain has a continuous supply while allowing for variations from meals and activity.
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of glucose across the plasma membrane, a process known as facilitated diffusion. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all life, these transporters are present in all phyla.

Glucose homeostasis is strongly regulated to meet the strength needs of major organs and to maintain human health. The liver has a major role in control glucose homeostasis by controlling numerous pathways of glucose metabolism, over eating collection of glycogen union glycogenesis, separate glycogen of glycogenolysis, glucose separate of glycolysis, and under fasting condition amino corrosive into glucose are gluconeogenesis. this metabolic cycle reliant upon admission of food manage eating social huge of our life. Doesnt control influences diabetic, fat, liver sickness and so forth. accumulate facts from hereditary mammal models indicates that the brain, mostly the hypothalamus, has a key major in the homeostatic rule of might and glucose metabolism. Insulin is the activation of glycogen synthase by phosphorylation of the enzyme glucose 6 phosphate ratio. Glycogen is encoded by glycogen synthase, GS1 is expressed in muscle and other tissues, and GS2 is often expressed in the liver, although we have found that GS2 is rarely stored in the brain. We focused liver Glycogen synthase is regulated without delay by glycogen synthase kinase three, AMPK, protein kinase A PKA and casein kinase 2, each protein kinase resulting in a phosphorylated and catalytically inactive glycogen synthase. GS is also regulated by protein phosphatization, which energises glycogen synthase by dephosphorylation. We aimed previous studies on defects of glycogen metabolism.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Homeostasis
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
2
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable
internal environment within an organism, and
maintaining a stable internal environment in a
human means having to carefully regulate
many parameters including glucose levels in
the blood.
3. Glucose homeostasis
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
3
Glucose homeostasis reflects a balance
between hepatic glucose production and
peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
Insulin is the most important regulator of this
metabolic equilibrium, but neural input,
metabolic signals, and other hormones (e.g.,
glucagon) result in integrated control of
glucose supply and utilization.
4. Homeostasis Of Blood Glucose
Levels
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
4
Glucose is an obligate metabolic fuel for the
brain under physiologic conditions.
The brain cannot synthesize glucose or store it
as glycogen
Therefore requires a continuous supply of
glucose from the arterial circulation.
5. Brain and glucose
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
5
As the arterial plasma glucose concentration
falls below the physiologic range, blood-to-brain
glucose transport becomes insufficient to
support brain energy metabolism and function.
However, redundant glucose counter
regulatory mechanisms normally prevent or
rapidly correct hypoglycemia.
6. Plasma glucose concentrations
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
6
Plasma glucose concentrations are normally
maintained within a relatively narrow range,
roughly 70–110 mg/dL (3.9–6.1 mmol/L) in the
fasting state with transient higher excursions
after a meal, despite wide variations in
exogenous glucose delivery from meals and in
endogenous glucose utilization by, for
example, exercising muscle.
7. Plasma glucose concentrations
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
7
Between meals and during fasting, plasma
glucose levels are maintained by-
Endogenous glucose production, hepatic (and
renal) gluconeogenesis,
Hepatic glycogenolysis.
8. Hepatic glycogen stores
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
8
Although hepatic glycogen stores are usually
sufficient to maintain plasma glucose levels for
approximately 8 hour , this time period can be
shorter if glucose demand is increased by
exercise or if glycogen stores are depleted by
illness or starvation.
9. Gluconeogenesis
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
9
Gluconeogenesis requires a coordinated
supply of precursors from muscle and adipose
tissue to the liver (and kidneys).
Muscle provides-o
Lactate,
o Pyruvate,
o Alanine, glutamine, and other amino acids.
10. Gluconeogenesis
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
10
Triglycerides in adipose tissue are broken
down into fatty acids and glycerol, which is a
gluconeogenic precursor.
Fatty acids provide an alternative oxidative fuel
to tissues other than the brain (which requires
glucose).
Fatty acids can not be used for glucose
production.
11. Systemic glucose balance
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
11
Maintenance of the normal plasma glucose
concentration—is accomplished by-
A network of hormones,
Neural signals, and
Substrate effects that regulate endogenous
glucose production and glucose utilization by
tissues other than the brain
12. Role of Insulin
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
12
Glucose is the key regulator of insulin
secretion by the pancreatic beta cells
Glucose levels > 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL)
stimulate insulin synthesis
Glucose stimulation of insulin secretion begins
with its transport into the beta cell by the
GLUT2 glucose transporter
Insulin promotes peripheral glucose uptake
and utilization, and inhibits gluconeogenesis
as well as glycogenolysis.
14. Role of insulin in the fasting
state
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
14
In the fasting state, low insulin levels increase
glucose production by-
Promoting hepatic gluconeogenesis and
glycogenolysis and
Reducing glucose uptake in insulin-sensitive
tissues (skeletal muscle and fat), thereby
promoting mobilization of stored precursors
such as amino acids and free fatty acids
(lipolysis).
These effects are mediated by Glucagon.
15. Role of Glucagon in the fasting
state
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
15
Glucagon, secreted by pancreatic alpha cells
when blood glucose or insulin levels are low,
stimulates –
Glycogenolysis
Gluconeogenesis by the liver and renal
medulla and
Prevents glucose uptake by the peripheral
cells
16. Postprandial Glucose
homeostasis
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
16
Postprandially, the glucose load elicits a rise in
insulin and fall in glucagon, leading to a
reversal of these processes.
Insulin, an anabolic hormone, promotes the
storage of carbohydrate and fat and protein
synthesis.
The major portion of postprandial glucose is
utilized by skeletal muscle, an effect of insulin-stimulated
glucose uptake.
Other tissues, most notably the brain, utilize
glucose in an insulin-independent fashion.

23. Variations in blood glucose
levels
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
23
A) Hypoglycemia- Decrease in blood glucose below
the normal is called hypoglycemia.
A decrease in insulin secretion is the first defense
against hypoglycemia.
As plasma glucose levels decline just below the
physiologic range, glucose counter regulatory
(plasma glucose–raising) hormones are released.
Among these, pancreatic α cell glucagon, which
stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis, plays a primary
role.
Glucagon is the second defense against
hypoglycemia.
24. A) Hypoglycemia (contd.)
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
24
Adreno- medullary epinephrine, which
stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis and
gluconeogenesis (and renal gluconeogenesis),
is not normally critical, however, it becomes
critical when glucagon is deficient.
Epinephrine is the third defense against
hypoglycemia.
When hypoglycemia is prolonged, cortisol and
growth hormone also support glucose
production and limit glucose utilization.
25. Hypoglycemia
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
25
Hypoglycemia is a laboratory ‘diagnosis’ which
is usually considered a blood glucose level
below 60 mg/dL.
Symptoms begin at plasma glucose levels in
the range of 60 mg/dL and
Impairment of brain function at approximately
50 mg/dL.
26. Types of Hypoglycemia
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
26
Spontaneous hypoglycemia in adults is of two
principal types:
1) Fasting hypoglycemia is often sub acute or
chronic and usually presents with
neuroglycopenia as its principal manifestation.
2) Postprandial hypoglycemia is relatively acute
and is often heralded by symptoms of
neurogenic autonomic discharge (sweating,
palpitations, anxiety, and tremulousness).
27. Common causes of
hypoglycemia
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
27
A) Physiological- Pronged fasting or starvation.
B) Pathological
1) Fasting hypoglycemia
o Drug induced- Insulin, oral hypoglycemic drugs,
alcohol, sulfonamides etc.
o Critical illnesses - Hepatic, renal, or cardiac
failure, and sepsis.
o Hormone deficiencies- Cortisol, growth hormone,
or both, Glucagon and epinephrine (in insulin-deficient
diabetes)
28. Common causes of

28
o Endogenous hyperinsulinism
o Insulinoma
o Autoimmune (autoantibodies to insulin or the
insulin receptor)
o Ectopic insulin secretion
o Congenital hyperinsulinism and
o Inherited enzyme deficiencies

truncal obesity)
33. Clinical implication of disturbed
glucose homeostasis-Glycosuria
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
33
Although normal urine contains virtually no
sugar but under certain circumstances,
glucose or other sugars may be excreted in
urine.
This condition is called ‘Melituria’. The term
Glucosuria, Fructosuria, Galactosuria,
Lactosuria and Pentosuria are applied
specifically for urinary excretion of glucose,
fructose, galactose, lactose and pentose
respectively.
34. Types of Glycosuria
34
Glycosuria(Glucosuria) can be classified in to
two main groups
A) Hyperglycemic glycosuria
B) Renal glycosuria
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
35. A) Hyperglycemic glycosuria
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14

Alimentary Glycosuria(Excessive ingestion of
carbohydrates)
Emotional Glycosuria(Excessive
catecholamine release)- Stress, anxiety etc.
36. Hyperglycemic glycosuria
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
36
Glycosuria due to endocrinal disorders
e.g.
o Diabetes Mellitus
o Hyperthyroidism
o Epinephrine hyper secretion
o Hyperactivity of anterior
pituitary(Acromegaly)
o Hyperactivity of Adrenal
cortex(Cushing’s syndrome/disease)
o Increased secretion of glucagon
37. B) Renal Glycosuria

Renal Tubular disease
Fanconi's Syndrome
Toxic renal tubular disease
o Lead Toxicity
o Mercury Toxicity
39. Diabetes mellitus
Biochemistry for medics- Lecture notes 11/07/14
39
Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome with disordered
metabolism and inappropriate hyperglycemia due
to either a deficiency of insulin secretion or to a
combination of insulin resistance and inadequate
insulin secretion to compensate.
Type 1 diabetes is due to pancreatic islet B cell
destruction predominantly by an autoimmune
process, and these patients are prone to
ketoacidosis.
Type 2 diabetes is the more prevalent form and
results from insulin resistance with a defect in
compensatory insulin secretion
