However, when blood glucose levels fall during a long fast, the bodyâs glycogen stores dwindle and additional sources of blood sugar are required. To help make up this shortfall, the liver, along with the kidneys, uses amino acids, lactic acid and glycerol to produce glucose. This process is known as gluconeogenesis.
What is colour blindness? Colour (color) blindness (colour vision deficiency, or CVD) affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women in the world. In Britain this means that there are approximately 2.7 million colour blind people (about 4.5% of the entire population), most of whom are male.
With around 1 in 14 men being red green color blind the risk of misinterpreting the red stop light and green go light becomes apparent. I personally do not have an issue differentiating the red and green colors used in modern LED traffic lights, however the older bulb style ones can be quite difficult to identify.
