{"Image DocumentName": "Homeostatic Regulation of Cellular Fuel", "Image ImageDescription": "Glucose is the main cellular fuel. Its storage and use is closely monitored by the animal body. After a meal, glucose and other monomers are absorbed into the blood from the digestive tract. If blood glucose levels rise above a set point, The pancreas release insulin, a protein hormone into the blood. Insulin causes the uptake of glucose by cells and stimulates liver and muscle cells to store glucose as glycogen. When blood glucose levels drop below a set point, the pancreas release glucagon that stimulate the liver and muscle cells to breakdown glycogen and release glucose into the blood.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
