The adrenal medullaâthe inner part of the glandâproduces nonessential (that is, you donât need them to live) hormones, such as adrenaline (which helps your body react to stress). When you think of the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands), stress might come to mind.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) is a rare disorder of carbohydrate metabolism caused by a deficiency of one of the three enzymes in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). The age of onset and severity of disease depends on the activity level of the PDC enzymes.
Simple carbohydrates are composed of small molecules generally monosaccharaides and disaccharides, which are rapidly absorbed such as glucose and sucrose. Simple carbohydrates has a high glycemic index and increases blood glucose level rapidly resulting in high insulin levels and more hunger. Complex carbohydrates are larger molecules which are broken down to monosaccharaides e.g. starches and fibers. Complex carbohydrates has a low glycemic index, increases blood glucose level more slowly but for a longer time resulting in lower insulin level and less hunger.
