down into glucose‚ which the body uses for energy. However‚ to convert glucose into energy‚ the body needs insulin‚ that is produced by the pancreas‚ which is part of endocrine system. The problem is some people do not produce enough insulin and others produce too much. Which leads to the question: How are insulin resistance‚ pre-diabetes‚ and diabetes different and yet still part of one another? The main differences and similarities between these three involve insulin and glucose. An insulin

* The plasma of the blood and the small molecules contained in plasma are pressure filtered into the Bowman’s capsule. * Large blood proteins and formed elements like blood cells and platlets are too big to be pressure filtered and remain in the arteriole. 3.Efferent Arteriole * smaller in diameter than the afferent arteriole and increases the pressure in the glomerulus aiding pressure filtration. * The blood entering the efferent arteriole is thicker‚ as plasma has entered

diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Ninety percent of those diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy will resolve after delivery (Scollan-Koliopoulos‚ Guadagno‚ & Walker‚ 2006). Pregnancy causes estrogen‚ progesterone and human placental lactogen to become elevated which provokes malfunctioning insulin‚ which can lead to insulin resistance and decreased cellular glucose uptake. The growing placenta causes the production

Disaccharides Sucrose A crystalline disaccharide of fructose and glucose‚ C12H22O11‚ found in many plants but extracted as ordinary sugar mainly from sugarcane and sugar beets‚ widely used as a sweetener or preservative and in the manufacture of plastics and soaps‚ also called saccharose. Sucrose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and the most common transport sugar in plants. It is also a no reducing disaccharide‚ and is synthesized in the cytosol via the phosphorylated intermediate

heart stopped would be as follows. Oxygen‚ glucose‚ and essential ions that are required for the heart to pump will slow down. Each of his cells will have to work harder and faster which uses up his energy supply. Carbon dioxide levels inside the cells will rise‚ which causes his PH to drop. The mitochondria will run out of oxygen and glucose to make essential ATP‚ which eventually causes the cells to die. Active transport pumps will shut down the plasma membranes of his heart which in return causes

insulin secretion‚ or its action‚ or both. Diabetes mellitus‚ commonly referred to as diabetes which was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine‚" and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose lead to spillage of glucose into the urine‚ hence the term sweet urine. The most common form of diabetes is Type II‚ It is sometimes called age-onset or adult-onset diabetes‚ and this form of diabetes occurs most often in people who are overweight and who do not

Oral glucose tolerance test: To detect rats which have false low blood glucose level however they are diabetic. 13 nude rats undergo fasting for half a day (12h)‚ then they were given a glucose solution of 2g/kg. Blood was taken from tail before having the solution by 60 minutes and after by 30 minutes‚ 1 hour and 2 hours. Results: In the experiment 20 nude rats and 8 local rats were used‚ before induction of diabetes by streptozotocin the blood glucose of nudes’ ranges between
