a relatively normal plasma glucose rate of clearance for a 70 kg adult is 2.13 M

Question

a relatively normal plasma glucose rate of clearance for a 70 kg adult is 2.13 Mg/kg/min. If the plasma glucose is maintained at 5 mM, how long (in hours) would it take before glycogen stores would be utilized?

Explanation / Answer

There are two main methods of describing concentrations: by weight, and by molecular count. Weights are in grams, molecular counts in moles. To convert mmol/L of glucose to mg/dl, multiply by 18. To convert mg/dL of glucose to mmol/L, divide by 18 or multiply by 0.055.

plasma glucose rate of clearance for a 70kg adult is about 2.13 mg/kg/min

if we convert plasma glucose concentration mg/dL to mmol/L

2.13/18=0.11833mmol/L glucose (or) 2..13*.055=0.11715mmol/L glucose

if it is taking 1min for the clearance 2.13 mg/kg (or) 0.11mmol/L glucose

how much time it wil take for 5mmol?

0.11*?=1*5mmol

?=5/.11

=45min or 0.75 hrs
