nate63225 said:The amusing thing about this article is it is totally wrong. I am Type 1 and have been for over 20 years. I have also been an avid lifter and AAS user. I will tell you that the article is wrong due to the fact of the amount used by the person. Insulin is just like any other injectible you take while building. If you injected say 5 ml of test ED, your body will fill all of its receptors and then the rest will be discarded from the body. The same is true for insulin. The human body has enough receptors to fill approx 50 - 75 units at one time. Which is more than enough to cause hypoglycemia. However after the receptors are filled the rest is washed from the body. The other interesting thing about the article is the supposed brain damage. If this is true then trust me, I would not be able to sit here and type because I would be staring at a wall drooling on myself. When your blood sugar begins to drop you will experience many different effects. The best way I describe it to people is to use the analogy of being drunk. The more your sugar drops the more drunk you become leading to blurred vision, coordination problems and eventually you pass out. This is when your body’s defenses step in. Your liver will begin to produce a hormone called glucagon, which causes your blood sugar to rise, thus saving your life. The only way brain damage or death can occur is if your liver is not working due to alcohol consumption or liver problems. So without trying to sound like I am bitching, I hate to see articles like this that paint such a bad picture. Insulin is probably one of the safest hormones you can take next to test. Insulin will not kill you. Hypoglycemia within your environment will. Hopes this clears it.
Busamuscle said:I believe after going hypo, low glucose levels in the brain cause the pituitary to release hgh, which causes the liver to release glucagon. Glucagon is secreted and acts on hepatocytes to activate the enzymes that depolymerize glycogen and release glucose to prevent brain damage!
Insulin can be used as a steroid
nate63225 said:I think that is close but I believe the pituitary gland stimulates the adrenal glands that produce adrenaline which then causes the liver to produce glucagon.
BigJohn said:you both are wrong.
Your pancreas produces glucagon, not your liver. Your liver responds to glucagon by releasing it's glucose stores.
