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.
In these tissues the absorbed glucose is converted into either glycogen via glycogenesis or fats (triglycerides) via lipogenesis, or, in the case of the liver, into both. Glucose production (and excretion into the blood) by the liver is strongly inhibited by high concentrations of insulin in the blood.
