In the event of inclement weather, residents should check the status of the Baltimore County Public Libraryâs Towson branch â if that branch is closed the evening of March 21, the public hearing will be postponed until Wednesday, March 28 at the Council Chambers of the Baltimore County Historic Courthouse.
The maintenance of normal carbohydrate tolerance requires the coordinated interaction of glucose, insulin, and glucagon. In the postabsorptive state the inhibitory effect of insulin on hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis is precisely balanced by the stimulatory effect of glucagon.
Insulin also causes glucose to be converted into glycogenâa storage moleculeâin the liver. Both processes pull sugar out of the blood, bringing blood sugar levels down, reducing insulin secretion, and returning the whole system to homeostasis. If blood glucose concentration rises above the normal range, insulin is released, which stimulates body cells to remove glucose from the blood.
