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.
Red-green color deficiency is the most common form of color blindness. Much more rarely, a person may inherit a trait that reduces the ability to see blue and yellow hues.This blue-yellow color deficiency usually affects men and women equally.he term color blindness is misleading, because most colorblind people see colors, but their color perception is limited and inaccurate. The most common form of color vision deficiency causes inaccurate perception of the colors red and green, making it easy to confuse them.
