Shortly after a typical meal, your blood glucose will rise from its fasting level of 4.4 mM to 6.6 mM.
(a) How many grams of glucose does this increase represent? (An average adult male weighing 70 kg has a blood volume of about 5 L.)
(b) Estimate the change in velocity for the liver hexokinase isozyme (IV) and the muscle hexokinase isozyme (I) that the fasting versus fed glucose concentrations would produce. Refer to the substrate-velocity data on p. 373 of Chapter 12.
