We can be in either of the two zones instantly within short periods of time, the ketogenic zone or glycogenic zone.
Insulin levels usually surge while we sleep for 4 hours just before we wake up to bring the bodies glucagon down which is stimulating the production of ketones.
Strange thing is lactate, intracellular hydrogen peroxide can have effects on insulin. Hydrogen peroxide can even be used in place of insulin at least in rats, especially Vanadium, Vanadium is some crazy stuff because it can do everything insulin can do? If Chromium and its sister element (PTE) Vanadium are removed from the body of lab mice, they die. I really wonder if that’s what pancreas b-islets are really trying do is create Vanadium?
Somatostatin regulates or inhibits both glucagon and insulin including HGH, however omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) regulate somatostatin and vitamin B-6 regulate PUFA’s…wow
