The blood glucose display punctured the tip of our fingers to pull a small drop of plasma from each participant. Subsequently‚ the testing slip was enclosed in a blood glucose meter‚ which processed the total glucose within the section on the slip and supplied a number on an electronic readout (my blood glucose level was 91). I learned that our glucose levels have ideal times of when to be tested these fluctuate depending on each individual (am fasting‚ before a meal‚ two hours post

URINE WHAT IS URINE is a liquid by-product of the body secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination(or micturition) and excreted through the urethra. Kidney’s waste from protein metabolism urination - the primary method for excreting water-soluble chemicals from the body. Dark yellow urine is often indicative of dehydration. Yellowing/light orange may be caused by removal of excess B vitamins from the bloodstream. Certain medications such as rifampin and phenazopyridine can

maintaining a constant internal environment. These conditions include water content‚ ion content‚ body temperature and blood glucose concentration. The brain is the centre that monitors and controls the body temperature. The blood glucose concentration is concentrated by the pancreas‚ which produces a hormone known as the insulin; this hormone is able to reduce the blood glucose levels. If there is not enough produced then the disease diabetes is developed. Negative feedback mechanisms: ‘a body

There has been evidence showing a predisposition of people having symptoms of metabolic syndrome such as 1) abdominal obesity‚ 2) elevated TG levels 3) low HDL cholesterol levels‚ 4) increased blood pressure‚ and 5) impaired fasting glucose‚ to having a greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease or type II diabetes. These symptoms are not necessarily manifestations of age‚ but develop over a predisposed background of unhealthy eating‚ physical inactivity and chronic stressful

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 4 Endocrine System Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Metabolism The following questions refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates. 1. Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? The normal rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate. 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The normal rat’s baseline metabolic rate was faster than that of the thyroidectomized rat’s

Insulin degludec Insulin degludec is an ultra-long-acting modified human insulin in which the B30 amino acid is omitted and a glutamic acid spacer links a 16-carbon fatty di-acid chain to the B29 amino acid. Deguldec forms multihexamers following SQ injection‚ leading to a slow release of insulin monomers into the bloodstream and a prolonged duration of action. The half-life of degludec is about 25 hours and its duration of action more than 42 hours. Flat insulin levels are seen within 3 days of

"Diabetes mellitus is not a single disease but a group of disorders with glucose intolerance in common" (McCance 674). Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar) and results from defective insulin production‚ secretion‚ and utilization.
