Endocrine System
This module allows you to explore endocrine system responses to exercise related to glucose regulation.
Measurable physiological variables in this module:
- Insulin - insulin concentration in the blood plasma (microunits/ml)
- Glucagon - glucagon concentration in the blood plasma (picograms/ml)
- Glucose - glucose concentration in the blood plasma (mmol/L)
- Norepinephrine - norepinephrine concentration in the blood plasma (picograms/ml)
