Speciality: Endocrinology
Description:
Welcome to today’s episode, where we explore how the body adapts to prolonged fasting, focusing on pancreatic alpha-cell counterregulation in older adults. During fasting, blood glucose levels drop. In response, alpha-cells in the pancreas release glucagon, a hormone that stimulates the liver to produce more glucose and keep energy available. However, as we age, this counterregulatory mechanism can become less efficient, increasing the risk of low blood sugar. Understanding these changes is crucial for managing fasting and nutrition in older adults, especially those with diabetes or other metabolic conditions. Stay tuned for more insights into how our bodies maintain balance, even during periods without food.
