Glucose Metabolism Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6077
The Glucose Metabolism Model (SKU JC-BE-6077) is a glucose metabolism model that maps the main connected pathways by which the human body uses and stores glucose, from glycolysis and glycogen synthesis and breakdown to gluconeogenesis, together with the control of blood glucose by insulin and glucagon. It is used in B.Sc biochemistry and first-year medical, pharmacy and nursing courses; JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The Glucose Metabolism Model is a biochemistry teaching model of the major pathways of glucose metabolism and their hormonal regulation, covering glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, insulin and glucagon; its dimensions, material and base are confirmed on the quotation.
