quickly after you eat,” (drug.com, 2000-2017, p.1). Amylin is part of protein hormone that is secreted along with insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas and help to regulate blood sugar level by inhibiting glucagon secretion and slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach,” ( FARLEX, 2013-2017, p.1). Glucagon is a protein hormone; its function is to raise the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream. Due to pancreas damaged because of type 1 or type 2 diabetes, amylin secretion is…

Homeostasis is performed so the body can maintain its internal set point. Negative feedback is the predominant mechanism used in homeostasis. Negative feedback works to correct a deviation from a set point and tries to get back to the set point or the typical state of a bodily system. It usually causes the output of a system to be lessened or even increased to stabilize the system. The negative feedback control system responds when conditions change from the ideal set point and returns…

glucose, which it uses for energy” (American Diabetes Association, 1995-2015). “Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body” (American Diabetes Association, 1995-2015). “Symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop quickly, over a few days to weeks, and are caused by high blood sugar” (WebMD, n.d.). “At first, symptoms may be overlooked or mistaken for another illness, like the flu” (WebMD, n.d.). “High blood sugar symptoms include:…

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease which is characterized by hyperglycemia, glycosuria and hyperlipidemia that in the long-term increase the probability of developing diabetic complication such as macrovascular and microvascular then complication increase mortality and morbidity. In microvascular includes diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common chronic complication of diabetes mellitus that develops in about…

majority of these ases were in children . (Rother KI 2007) . Type 2 daibetes is charactierized by insulin resistence , a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulien properly . The defect of body tissues to respond to insulin is believed to involve the insulin receptors but the specific defects are not known . Type 2 daibetes is the most common type of diabetes mellitus . ( Greenspans' basic &clinical endocrinology 9 th ed) . This form was previeously referred to as " non insulin…

occurs in men and women over 40 and overweight. They also have to have a family history of the disease. The symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes is very much like Type 1, with being excessive thirst, unration and extreme hunger. People who have this Type of diabetes have to monitor their glucose levels and have to keep it a healthy…

The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is an important protein in human function. LDL receptor is the main protein that binds and carries cholesterol to maintain homeostasis in mammalian cells. In human plasma, it is also the most abundant cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein (Goldstein and Brown, 1987). It plays a major role in the development of atherosclerosis, a chronic disease caused by the accumulation of LDL-cholesterol in the blood. The LDL receptor is also the main protein that is…

Celiac disease and type 1 diabetes are autoimmune disorders within the human body. An autoimmune disorder is a condition where the antibodies of the immune system attack the healthy cells and tissues. Since they’re both autoimmune disorders, the possibility of them being related genetically increases due to same genes to trigger the immune response. Scientist are investigating the possibility of these two disorders having a genetic similarity, causing individuals who have celiac to be more…

Obesity. Liver Disease. Diabetes. These are only three of the effect that sugar can have on the human body. Sugar can cause countless life threatening diseases, some more common than others. Sugar is something to be afraid of. The first example of something sugar can cause is liver diseases. Overloading the liver on sugar can progress to non-alcoholic liver disease or liver cancer. Secondly, if the pancreas is overworked by sugar intake, it could lead to a serious liver disease. Lastly, sugar…

As a diabetic, I decided to learn more about my diseases. Diabetes is called diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is a disorder where your body can not eliminate sugar and as a result, your blood sugar levels remain high. The reasons your blood sugar levels remain high is because your pancreas is unable to produce sufficient insulin, or your body cells are resistant to the insulin your pancreas produces. Symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst (staying unusually thirst), increased hunger (not…
