Human Anatomy
1.Dependent Variable: plasma levels of glucose, ketones, insulin, and glucagon
2.Independent Variable: food and beverage intake
3.Controlled Variables: physical activity, caffeine and alcohol intake, gender, age, BMI
4.Why were physical activity and caffeine and alcohol intake the controlled variables?
5.What type of assay was used to measure plasma glucose and ketone levels?
6.What type of assay was used to measure plasma insulin and glucagon levels?
1.When was plasma glucose concentration highest? If values are similar for several time points (within a few points of each other), then give range of times when plasma glucose concentration was highest.
2.When was plasma glucose concentration lowest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma glucose concentration was lowest.
3.When was plasma ketone concentration highest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma ketone concentration was highest.
4.When was plasma ketone concentration lowest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma ketone concentration was lowest.
1.When was plasma insulin concentration highest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma insulin concentration was highest.
2.When was plasma insulin concentration lowest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma insulin concentration was lowest.
3.When was plasma glucagon concentration highest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma glucagon concentration was highest.
4.When was plasma glucagon concentration lowest? If values are similar for several time points, then give range of times when plasma glucagon concentration was lowest.
5.When was plasma insulin/glucagon concentration highest? If values are similar for
