The fluctuation of blood sugar (red) and the sugar-lowering hormone insulin (blue) in humans during the course of a day with three meals. One of the effects of a sugar-rich vs a starch-rich meal is highlighted. [1] The blood sugar level, blood sugar concentration, blood glucose level, or glycemia is the measure of glucose concentrated in the blood.
Normal human body temperature ( normothermia, euthermia) is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). [ 8][ 9] Human body temperature varies. It depends on sex, age, time of day, exertion level, health status (such as illness and menstruation ...

According to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP), and based on a sample examined between 2004 and 2005, an ...
Blood sugar regulation is the process by which the levels of blood sugar, the common name for glucose dissolved in blood plasma, are maintained by the body within a narrow range. The regulation of glucose levels through Homeostasis. This tight regulation is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin, which lowers blood sugar, and glucagon ...
Soda and juices wreak havoc on blood-sugar levels. Add some interest to seltzer by squeezing in fresh citrus, opting for flavored (but not sweetened) versions, or infusing with a sprig of fresh herbs.
Roughly 85% of the circulating T 3 is later formed in the liver and anterior pituitary by removal of the iodine atom from the carbon atom number five of the outer ring of T 4. In any case, the concentration of T 3 in the human blood plasma is about one-fortieth that of T 4. The half-life of T 3 is about 2.5 days. [3] The half-life of T 4 is ...
The dawn phenomenon, sometimes called the dawn effect, is an observed increase in blood sugar (glucose) levels that takes place in the early-morning, often between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. First described by Schmidt in 1981 as an increase of blood glucose or insulin demand occurring at dawn, [ 1] this naturally occurring phenomenon is frequently seen ...
