'Bankin Wutar Lantarki' na jikinmu: Bari mu koyi game da Glycogen kawai

Shin kun taɓa yin mamakin yadda jikinmu ke samun kuzarin da yake buƙata lokacin da muka daina cin abinci na ɗan lokaci, ko kuma lokacin da muke motsa jiki sosai? Kamar yadda muke ajiye bankin wutar lantarki a wayarmu don amfani da shi lokacin da batirin ya ƙare, jikinmu kuma yana da ajiyar kuzari wanda za mu iya amfani da shi a lokacin gaggawa. Wannan shine abin da muke kira glycogen a fannin likitanci. Wannan muhimmin ɓangare ne na sarrafa kuzarin jikinmu.

Menene glycogen, a takaice?

A taƙaice dai, glycogen wani nau'in glucose ne da aka adana a jikinmu. Yanzu za ku iya mamakin menene glucose. Glucose wani nau'in sukari ne. Jikinmu yana samun glucose daga abincin da muke ci, musamman abinci mai ɗauke da carbohydrates ( sitaci ) (kamar shinkafa, burodi, dankali). Wannan glucose shine babban mai da ke samar da makamashi ga ƙwayoyin jikinmu.

Ka yi tunanin, bayan mun ci abinci, jininmu yana ɗauke da glucose fiye da yadda yake buƙata. To me jiki ke yi? Yana ɗaukar wannan glucose mai yawa ya adana shi a cikin fakiti wanda za a iya amfani da shi daga baya. Wannan babban fakitin, wanda ya ƙunshi dubban ƙwayoyin glucose da aka haɗa tare, ana kiransa glycogen.

Wannan tsari yana faruwa ta hanyoyi biyu:

1. Glycogenesis: Tsarin shan glucose mai yawa a cikin jini da adana shi azaman glycogen.

2. Glycogenolysis : Idan jikinmu yana buƙatar kuzari, yana wargaza glycogen da aka adana, yana mayar da shi glucose, sannan ya sake shi cikin jini.

Saboda waɗannan matakai guda biyu suna faruwa ne kawai jikinmu ke samun kuzari lokacin da yake buƙatarsa ​​kuma yana samun kariya daga ƙaruwar sukari a cikin jini.

Ina wannan shagon makamashi yake?

Ana adana Glycogen a cikin hanta da tsokoki na kwarangwal , tare da ƙananan adadin da aka adana a cikin kwakwalwa da sauran kyallen takarda.

Ka yi tunanin haka, hanta za ta iya adana kaso mafi girma na glycogen idan aka kwatanta da girmansa. Amma saboda muna da tsoka mai yawa a jikinmu, yawancin (kusan kashi uku cikin huɗu) na jimlar glycogen ana adana su ne a cikin tsokoki.

Adadin glycogen da aka adana a jikinka ya dogara da dalilai da yawa:

• Adadin carbohydrates da kuke ci.
• Yaya yawan motsa jiki da kuma yadda kake motsa jiki.
• Tazarar lokaci tsakanin abinci.
• Aikin enzyme na hanta.

Wannan tsari na ajiya, wanda ake kira glycogenogenesis, ana sarrafa shi ta hanyar wani hormone da ake kira insulin . Idan muka ci abinci, matakan glucose na jini suna ƙaruwa. Sannan pancreas ɗinmu yana samar da insulin, wanda ke nuna wa ƙwayoyinmu alama don adana yawan glucose a matsayin glycogen.

Glycogen, glucose, da glucagon - menene bambanci tsakanin waɗannan ukun?

Duk da cewa waɗannan sunaye uku suna kama da juna, amma ayyukansu sun bambanta. Domin fahimtar wannan bambanci a sarari, duba teburin da ke ƙasa.

Akwai ɗan bambanci kaɗan a yadda glycogen ke rushewa a cikin hanta da tsokoki. Hanta tana rushe glycogen don yin glucose don jiki duka ya yi amfani da shi. Amma glucose ɗin da tsoka ke samarwa glycogen ne kawai waɗannan tsokoki za su iya amfani da shi . Dalilin haka shine tsokoki suna buƙatar kuzari mai yawa yayin motsa jiki. Idan suka cire glucose daga jini a cikin jiki, muhimman gabobin jiki kamar kwakwalwa ba za su sami isasshen glucose ba. Don haka tsokoki suna kula da ajiyar makamashi na kansu.

Zan iya duba matakin glycogen na?

A gaskiya ma, auna matakan glycogen kai tsaye yana da ɗan rikitarwa kuma ba abu ne da aka saba yi ba. Domin wannan matakin yana canzawa koyaushe a cikin yini ya danganta da abin da muke ci da abin sha da kuma yawan motsa jiki da muke yi. A lokuta na musamman, idan ya cancanta, likita zai iya ɗaukar ƙaramin yanki na nama daga hanta ko tsoka ya duba shi (wannan ana kiransa biopsy ) don duba matakan glycogen.

Amma yawanci, likitoci suna yin gwaje-gwaje masu sauƙi don ganin ko akwai matsala da ke da alaƙa da glucose.

• Gwajin jini don duba matakan glucose na jini da aikin hanta da tsoka.
• An yi amfani da na'urar daukar hoton hanta ta ultrasound domin duba girman hanta.
• Ana yin gwajin kwayoyin halitta idan ana zargin wata cuta ta gado.

A matsakaici, babba mai lafiya yana da kimanin gram 600 na glycogen a cikin jikinsa. Wannan na iya bambanta dangane da girman jikin mutum, abincinsa, da kuma matakin motsa jiki.

Cututtuka masu alaƙa da Glycogen

Cutar Ajiye Glycogen (GSD) cuta ce da ba kasafai ake samu ba, wacce ake gado, wadda ke lalata ikon samar da ko rushe glycogen. Tana faruwa ne sakamakon lahani na kwayoyin halitta. Tana faruwa ne lokacin da jiki bai sami enzymes da ake buƙata don metabolism na glycogen ba.

Wannan na iya haifar da ko dai tarin glycogen mai haɗari a cikin gabobin jiki kamar hanta, ko kuma a wasu mutane, jiki ba zai iya samar da glycogen kwata-kwata ba. Wannan na iya haifar da alamu daban-daban, kamar raunin tsoka.

Duk da cewa babu maganin GSD, magani zai iya magance alamun cutar. Akwai maganin maye gurbin enzyme ga wasu nau'ikan da kuma maganin sitaci na masara ga nau'ikan da yawa.

Idan kana da wata damuwa game da yawan sukari a cikin jininka, rashin kuzari, ko kuma yawan ciwon tsoka, ka tabbata ka yi magana da likitanka game da shi.Yi magana da likitanka. Ya fi muhimmanci a sami ingantaccen shawara daga likita fiye da neman bayanai a intanet.
