Anthimus Glucose Metabolism Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6078
The Anthimus Glucose Metabolism Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that maps out the major interconnected pathways of glucose metabolism in the human body, including glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis.
The model also shows how blood glucose levels are hormonally regulated by insulin and glucagon, making it a useful reference for correlating basic biochemistry with clinical conditions such as diabetes.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Glycolysis | Breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, yielding ATP and NADH |
| Glycogenesis | Synthesis of glycogen from glucose for storage, mainly in the liver and muscle |
| Glycogenolysis | Breakdown of stored glycogen back into glucose when blood glucose is low |
| Gluconeogenesis | Synthesis of new glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors such as amino acids and glycerol |
| Insulin | Hormone that lowers blood glucose by promoting cellular glucose uptake and glycogenesis |
| Glucagon | Hormone that raises blood glucose by promoting glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis |
Key Features
- Depicts the major interconnected pathways of glucose metabolism in a single reference model
- Shows the hormonal regulation of blood glucose by insulin and glucagon
- Useful for correlating metabolic pathways with clinical conditions such as diabetes
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Anthimus Glucose Metabolism Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates the major pathways of glucose metabolism, including glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis, along with their hormonal regulation.
Q2. What is glycolysis?
A. Glycolysis is the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.
Q3. How do insulin and glucagon regulate blood glucose?
A. Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake and storage as glycogen, while glucagon raises blood glucose by triggering glycogen breakdown and new glucose synthesis.
Q4. What is gluconeogenesis?
A. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of new glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids and glycerol, mainly during fasting.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Biochemistry, medical, nursing, pharmacy, and biotechnology students and faculty use it to study carbohydrate metabolism.
Q6. Is this the same product as the Glucose Metabolism Model?
A. No. The Anthimus Glucose Metabolism Model and the Glucose Metabolism Model are two separate, individually listed products in our catalogue. Please check the exact product name against your requirement before ordering, or contact our team to confirm which one you need.
