Insulin Secretion

In this video, Dr Mike explains the different stimuli that can trigger the secretion (release) of insulin from the pancreas.
This includes nutrients like glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, and ketones. But also the autonomic nervous system and other hormones of the body!

My only issue with this video is that your biceps are distracting me from learning the content 💪

Student of Zoology here. Your videos are really helping me for preparing for my finals . Thank you so so so much.

You are a phenomenal teacher.. I never thought I'd ever like chemistry and biology...you made me think that maybe I should've chosen to study medicine...

[wypy]

Why didnt i find these sooner 😑i have been studying all the steps at different times so I couldn’t see the big picture of how it all works actually i just understand all so clearly now thank you 😊

[fatmamarwa]

I'm a vet student and your videos helped a lot ... much appreciated!

[kayciebowman]

Seriously can’t THANK YOU enough!! This is another topic that makes my brain melt. You have a way of explaining to where I can somehow understand, therefore… remember it!!

Most problems happen at the protein channels called a channelopathy that can be inherited or acquired. The acquired channelopathies are disrupted due to heavy metals chemicals that disrupt the protein channels as well as causing oxidative stress to the channel itself or to the cell membrane. great videos and would love to see more info on the cofactors that make the enzymes work. thank you for the great explanations...

when I need clarification I always check your videos first. Thank you

[xiaoyanzhang]

I am going to watch alla of your videos in the summer. Fantastic! Thank you.

Thank you Dr Mike, I really appreciate how you made understanding the endocrine system a very easy. 😉

Amazing video and description of GLUT2! Makes the rest of the process regarding insulin secretion easier to undertsand.

[bettinadimitrova]

My life is easier with this channel.🙌🏽

[neurosciencetv]

This was an amazing refresher for me!! And probably even a better explanation than when I first learned it :D Thank you for an excellent breakdown!

[lucianothomas]

Brilliant!! Thanks, please keep doing these videos mate :)

So if we say that insulin vesicles release is a quantitive measure of how much insulin should be released, then where is the sensor that determine how much vesicles should be released? I mean who determine let's say the release of S, M, L, XL amount of insulin in response to S, M, L, XL amount of glucose increase in blood due to small candy(S), donut(M), meal(L), ice-cream jar(XL). Is it the K+ channel activation via ATP concentration (S, M, L, XL ATP concentrations) or is it something else? anyone knows?

Thanks Doc this is the most simple and complete explanation I've found.

[suhashchandra]

Excellent, ur skills as well ur physique
Inspired by both, keep it up Dr
Waiting for more, thank you Dr

[munaabed]

Thank you, Dr. Mike. I am confused by the action of the sympathetic nervous system, which is supposed to increase blood sugar by decreasing insulin release!

[ArshiMorshi]

Wow! I’m a lot more smarter than I was 15 minutes ago! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pls put translator in the explainer videos, we follow u from the Middle East, and keep going 💚💚
