Glucagon

Effective clinical reasoning skills are essential in nursing; an estimated half of all clinical adverse events are attributed to errors in clinical decision-making (Levett-Jones et al., 2013). Tanner (2006) defined clinical reasoning as the process via which nurses arrive at clinical decisions by weighing evidence, pattern recognition, using intuition, selecting from alternatives and patient safety. This clinical reasoning cycle (CRC) consists of 8 cyclical steps namely, consideration of the…

depolarizes the cell allowing calcium influx and then insulin release. This medication will help to bring function back to the dysfunctional beta cells of the pancreas and produce more insulin. The GLP-1 agonist mimics the effects of the distal hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, which is released by the body in response to sugar absorption. This protein targets distal effectors throughout the body to increase insulin biosynthesis and beta cell proliferation in the pancreas and increase insulin…

process glucose. More specifically, insulin will promote glucose uptake by splanchnic and peripheral tissues, and will suppress endogenous production of glucose (Boada & Martinez-Moreno, 2013). Additionally, insulin will inhibit the secretion of glucagon, which has key a role in increasing blood glucose by signaling the liver to breakdown glycogen. However, in DMII the activity of receptors found in peripheral tissues will be disrupted, allowing insulin resistance to take place. It is important…

Results Subjects Eight subjects completed this study with a mean BMI of 22.18 ±2.9 kg/m2( range, 19.5-28.15),aged 22 ±1.2 year (range 21-24 year), fasting glucose concentration of high carbohydrate meal is 4.9 ±0.071 mmol ( range, 4.6-5.2 mmol) and fasting glucose concentration of high protein meal is 5.0± 0.098 mmol (range, 4.7-5.5 mmol).There is no significant differences between the two test meals in the fasting values. Metabolic response Results for plasma glucose is depicted in the…

Discussion In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that high protein meal would produce lower postprandial glucose level than high carbohydrate meal with the similar energy content. Also, the high protein meal could decrease the energy intake in ad libitum lunch meal and reduced the total daily energy intake greater than the high carbohydrate meal. The result of this present study showed that consumption of protein rich breakfast meals led to lower glucose IAUC response and reduced the…

Every organ has its own function to ensure homeostasis, or a stable environment inside of the body. Sometimes these organs do not work properly, or are harmed, and therefore cause a disruption in the well being of the person’s homeostasis. Examples could be: liver failure, stroke, heart attack or even type one diabetes. An unaffected pancreas, according to Johns Hopkins (2016), has two different functions. The first function is called the exocrine and it releases enzymes into ducts that…

There are two types of Pancreatic Cancer. One type is called exocrine pancreatic cancer. With this one there is a thing called adenocarcinomas. This means the cancer usually begins in the ducts of the pancreas. Adenocarcinomas has a ninety-five perfect of being the leading cause of the cancer. Ampullary cancer is another type of exocrine cancer. This cancer is where the bile duct and pancreatic duct come together and empty into the small intestine. Ampullary cancer is not technically a…

Yeast Expression System for Glycoengineering Yeast expression system is an alternative to prokaryotic and higher eukaryotic expression system since it offers the attributes of speedy growth, ease to manipulate genes and low costing media like for microbes along with post translational modification and secretory expression like in higher eukaryotes. An increasing number of yeast strains are available for protein expression that are said to increase the yield of the protein, improves the…

life-threatening. That’s when the pancreas comes in. The pancreas releases a hormone called insulin, which makes the sugar in excess stored or used as an energy source. But, if our blood sugars are low, then the pancreas releases something called glucagon which informs the liver and the cells of the body to push some sugars that are stored into the bloodstream. Diabetes – a famous disease – is called by a weakened pancreas. If our pancreas is damaged then the organ’s ability to produce insulin…

Audience and Purpose The audience for this description is the population of Type I and Type II Diabetes, their caregivers, as well as general public interested in this process. The purpose of this technical document is to inform the audience, step by step, how Insulin Humalog works in lowering blood glucose levels, and therefore, to influence the diabetic readers to check their blood glucose levels before each meal, and to have their meals ready if this insulin is to be given. Introduction…
