Load Fund. What is a 'Load Fund'. A load fund is a mutual fund that comes with a sales charge or commission. The fund investor pays the load, which goes to compensate a sales intermediary, such as a broker, financial planner or investment advisor, for his time and expertise in selecting an appropriate fund for the investor.
When levels of glycogen in the liver are very low, such as when you are fasting or on a low-carbohydrate diet, the liver uses alternative sources to produce and release more glucose into the bloodstream. Through a process called gluconeogenesis, the liver can create glucose from amino acids, the building blocks of protein and fat byproducts.
But the liver has a special job when it comes to glucose. When levels of glucose (and consequently insulin) are high in the blood, the liver responds to the insulin by absorbing glucose. It packages the sugar into bundles called glycogen. These glucose granules fill up liver cells, so the liver is like a warehouse for excess glucose.
