What is diabetes? Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases where the body’s pancreas does not produce enough insulin or does not properly respond to insulin produced‚ resulting in high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. There are several different types of diabetes‚ but the most common forms are type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Both impact glucose levels‚ and if left untreated‚ can cause many complications What is type 1 diabetes? Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can occur at any age‚ but is most commonly

How insulin effects digestion Insulin is a hormone that is produced in specialized cells in the islets of Langerhans‚ a part of the pancreas. The main role of insulin is to regulate the body’s use of sugars and other nutrients. The process is initiated during and immediately after the process of digestion breaks down carbohydrates into sugar molecules (including glucose) and proteins into amino acids. Right after a meal‚ glucose and amino acids are absorbed directly into the bloodstream

Structure of Insulin Focus concepts The three dimensional structure of insulin is examined and sequences of various animal insulins are compared. Prerequisites • • • Amino acid structure Protein architecture Basic immunology Background Diabetics lack the protein insulin‚ which is produced by the pancreatic β-cells of the islets of Langerhans. Insulin stimulates uptake of glucose from the blood into the tissues. Diabetes is treated by replacing the missing insulin. Human insulin is produced

Should we use animals for experiments? (against) The question is‚what it means to use animals for experiments? It means‚ the investigators and doctors whose are producing medicines they have to test is first‚somehow‚to see how is the effect of the medicine.This “somehow” means the animals.Moreover I haven’t said anything about testing new products like cosmetic products‚make-ups‚sprays. In my opinion‚the animals are different‚they body and organism are different.For this reason the scientists

They were reminded that it was up to them if they will listen to their female peer’s suggestion or not. As predicted‚ the choice in casual wear of young men was no different from when they had the suggestive influence of their female peers. INTRODUCTION Teenage years can be difficult and demanding.

Insulin pumps send insulin through a small catheter continuously in small doses. This is places in a subcutaneous area and stays there for 2 or 3 days. The insulin pump is usually placed in the abdomen area or the buttocks. When it’s time for meals or snacks the patient can push a button which sends a bolus of insulin. This method is for patients who wants to have good control of the glucose levels and have a flexible lifestyle. Oral hypoglycemic medication is for patients who have type 2 diabetes

Is it normally acceptable to experiment on non-human animals to develop products and medicines that benefit human beings? New scientific research has cast grave doubt on the safety testing of hundreds of thousands of consumer products. Everyday products‚ from soft drinks to paints‚ contain numerous synthetic chemicals. Official assurances of the safety of these chemicals are based largely on animal experiments. But recent results from a consortium in America suggested such assurances may be worthless

The Milgram Experiment was conducted back in 1962 by American psychologist Stanley Milgram. With the Second World War having ended less than twenty years prior‚ the experiment aimed to find out how seemingly ordinary human beings could be ordered to commit such atrocities‚ and just how far a human could go obeying an order if it involved the harm of an innocent person. Those who participated in the experiment were men largely between the ages of twenty and fifty. However‚ the participants were led

The causes and effects of diabetes Type 1 diabetes causes Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. This causes diabetes by leaving the body without enough insulin to function normally. This is called an autoimmune reaction‚ or autoimmune cause‚ because the body is attacking itself. There is no specific diabetes causes‚ but the following triggers may be involved: • Viral or bacterial infection • Chemical toxins within food • Unidentified

The world of neuroscience animal testing has long intrigued my imagination‚ evoking memories from my childhood. As a child‚ I remember the feeling of dislocating and removing the tiny cells and pieces of the devices in my home‚ examining each component‚ and striving to reassemble them into working order. To some extent‚ that reminds me of how some neuroscientists conduct animal testing experiments. In both cases‚ there is a meticulous exploration and reassembling of complex structures‚ whether they
