Insulin and Glucagon

• Insulin
• lowers elevated blood sugar.
• shifts our metabolism into storage mode
• removes dietary fat from blood and transports it
  into fat cells.
• increases the body's production of cholesterol
• causes the kidneys to retain fluid
• stimulates the release of eicosanoids.

• Glucagon
• shifts metabolism into burning mode
• turns fat into blood sugar for energy use.
• decreases the bodies production of cholesterol
• causes the kidneys to release excess fluid.
• stimulates the release of eicosanoids.

21
The Eicosanoids

• Insulin promoted eicosanoids
• Promote platelet aggregation
• Promote vasoconstriction
• Depress Immune Response
• Are Pro-Inflammatory
• Increase Pain Transmission
