For example: Insulin binds to the insulin receptor, which causes a chain of events to happen to ultimately move GLUT4. After insulin binds to the receptor, what happens to insulin itself? Does it get released from the receptor? Absorbed? Does it change/get recycled? Break down?
LinkedIn post is here [https://www.linkedin.com/posts/williamhgates_whether-youre-a-recent-grad-or-a-college-activity-6948310563722579970-6qrH/] (will remove if I'm breaking any rules)
I've read from several different sources that when a fresh injection of basaltic magma intrudes into a more silica-rich magma chamber under a volcano, some sort of reaction happens that ultimately leads to a large explosive eruption. I've specifically heard this implicated for the 19th century…
I was trimming bushes when I noticed a small thorn stuck itself into my knuckle. My finger looked normal and didn't hurt, so I removed the small thorn and continued trimming. 30 seconds or so later I raise the same hand up again and noticed I had blood all over the finger, and some had dripped onto…
I know it sounds weird but I have inconsistent emotions about my boyfriend. He’s a wonderful guy and many days I feel like I couldn’t imagine life without him, but then there are other days that I find myself asking if I really want to be in this relationship. There won’t be any particular event or…
as the title says, it just seems like cancer rates are going up, but we've made tons of regulations, warnings and other things to show, limit or stop use of carcinogens. to me this means cancer rates should trend down. but they're not?? what would cause this in modern society??? are genes less…
Yesterday, my long-term boyfriend proposed, and I’m incredibly excited about it. However, his parents bought him the ring, and I’m really uncomfortable with it. I knew his parents had money, but they’re very low key people, so I just assumed they don’t spend. But I’m pretty close with them, as is…
Most of my search results are giving me information on blood plasma, and I’m not finding a clear yes or no about the kind of plasma I actually want to know about. Is the definition of fluid absolutely applicable to plasma the same way it is for liquids and gases, or is it just used as a theoretical…
As a kid I remember reading about a woman who would always follow instructions to the tee. For example, if you told her to string the beans, she would literally take some string and string them up like she was putting clothes out to dry. If you told her to mop every inch of the house, she would do…
I have lived in America my whole life. I know our history, both the good and the bad. One thing that I always was taught was how strong our democracy was. Our democracy is what made us great. I cant help but feel like when a substantial portion of the country believes in a lie about an election…
I saw a post that had a few comments from, what I assume, were American talking about how a 9am start was unheard of at school. People even talking about getting the bus at 5:30am?? Surely this isn’t the norm? In the UK the vast majority of schools start between 8:30am and 9:00am, finishing around…
Having worked in Germany, the UK and Australia, I have always been relatively lucky with my line of work and the benefits associated with it, regardless of my employer. However, I keep reading about these atrocious working conditions in the US with people claiming they get less than 2 weeks holiday…
All great ancient civilisations were centered on river flood plains. India on the Indus and Ganges, China on the Yellow and Yangtze, Egypt on the Nile and Mesopotamia on the Tigris and Euphrates. The yearly flooding would irrigate the land and make it very fertile. According to this global survey…
What's the difference in composition between the two sets? Is there a reason why we can't develop adult teeth in replace of baby teeth and only live with the one set? I imagined that perhaps as your increased calcium intake had something to do with it. Are there any conditions that can affect this…
As the title says, I find it slightly strange that women can get dressed up to be sexy, but what can a man do?
As per the wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_Civil_War] article: "The Albanian Civil War in 1997 was sparked by pyramid scheme failures in Albania soon after its transition to a market economy. The government was toppled and more than 2,000 people were killed." What was going on…
She always has to make a scene or question my manhood to her friends or any random person who’ll listen. I can’t stand it. Then when I say something, I’m the problem, I’m the one being a little bitch.
I lost a lot of weight this past year. Now I have this flap of skin hanging over my C-section scar. I feel ugly and don’t even want my hubby to see me naked. I’m very fit otherwise and practically in the “normal” BMI range. I just still look so fat bc the extra skin is all bunched up under…
It’s 2:30 AM and I can’t sleep and i randomly had this thought. Please help me
With how divide people are these days with open hostility and crazy stuff happening all over the place, you would think that extremists would be taking out those that they deem a treat. I’m not advocating for political assassinations at all but am quite surprised there isn’t so many more.
Hi all, I (32f) and my husband (35m) have been together for almost 14 years and married for almost 9 years. When we got married, we were asked when we were going to have kids. We always came up with a response around the fact that we are waiting and it’ll happen when/if it happens. The past couple…
This question seems to come up often, but is riddled with anecdotes that don't make things clear. I've seen people talk about stopping diary then becoming intolerant after doing that for a number of months - but were they always intolerant (had no lactase enzymes) and just never knew it? I'm aware…
