Adipocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes T2D and white adipose tissue WAT contributes to the regulation of whole-body glucose and energy homeostasis 123. I am a high school science teacher at a. Homeostasis Odd One Out Worksheet Middle School Science Resources High School Science Middle School Science Under normal conditions glucose homeostasis results from a tightly controlled balance between glucose production from the liver in the post-absorptive state and from the gut in the post-prandial state and glucose utilization. . Homeostasis is the capacity of living organisms to maintain their internal stability of bodies as appropriate to the temperature and pH acidity and alkalinity balance through the exchange of matter and energy with the environment. The importance of this regulation is evidenced by a variety of physiologic derangements that occur when plasma pH is either high or low. Glucose homeostasis is...
