Glucagon

level. Normal blood glucose is between 70-100 mg/dL. If it falls below 70 mg/dL it is considered hypoglycemia, and if it is above 160 mg/dL is classified as hyperglycemia. In order for the body to control the fluctuation, the hormones insulin and glucagon are released.…

read this article were can I administer insulin to a student and what are the legal issues of it in North Carolina? The author, Mike Huggins, discusses what are the challenges with Type 1 diabetes, what is the state law, insulin administration, and glucagon administration as it relates to the classroom. This critique is a brief examination of his claims and will summarize evidence, purpose, support, or lack of support in their argument. First of all, it is important to identify the challenge…

Abstract: A simple, novel, and sensitive method developed for estimation of Dappagliflozin and Saxagliptin. The method was carried out on reverse- phase C18 inertsil column, with mixture of Methanol: Water ( 80:20) ratio as a mobile phase, 1 ml / min flow rate. Different analytical parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, Limit of detection (LOD), Limit of Quantification (LOQ), robustness were determined according to the International conference on Harmonization ICH guidelines. The…

To first perform this experiment a beaker of water was set to boil on a hot plate while samples of serum and benedicts reagent were collected. Six test tubes were gathered and labeled by which blood vessel the serum was collected from and by which category, either postprandial or fasting. Then by using a metric ruler two measurements were placed on the bottom of each tube, one at one centimeter and one at two centimeters. This was to indicate how much serum and Benedict’s reagent to use,…

autoimmune disease that occurs when certain cells of the immune system go awry and mistakenly recognize and kill (or inactivate) the insulin-producing β-cells. The β-cells are housed within the islets of Langheran along with the α-cells producing glucagon and other cells (footnote i). β-cells depletion leads to physiologically insufficient production of insulin and persistent high blood glucose. The disease is manageable with daily insulin injections and a healthy life style, but not curable. A…

A mother’s worst fear is receiving a life shattering call from her daughter’s teacher saying she wasn’t acting like herself. The first question brought into speculation was depression. Just as a mother would do, she watched for signs herself. A week or so later an accident happened. The daughter awoke her mother during the night and right away the mother knew something was wrong. The daughter told her mother that she wasn’t sure if she was sweating profusely while sleeping or if she had wet…

action on glycogen, protein, and lipid metabolism. In the liver, cortisol stimulates gluconeogenesis and, in adipose tissue, activates lipolysis and free fatty acids (FFA) to be released into the circulation. Cortisol also has a permissive effect on glucagon and catecholamine action, thereby contributing to insulin resistance and increased blood glucose levels at the expense of glycogen, protein, and lipid storage (11). Among the two receptors identified for CRH, CRHR1 has higher affinity for…

The nervous system carries data to and from the brain and spinal cord to various bodily parts. There are three main functions of the nervous system, including sensory input, integration of data and motor output which occurs in the Brain and/or Spinal Cord. Sensory input is described as when the body gathers information of data, which correlates with the human senses such as touch, taste and sight. Integration of data occurs in the brain only once the brain has processed the information and is…

Human anatomy and physiology is the study of the structure and function of the human body. When a disease strikes a part of your body, it ultimately affects the majority of your body system. There are thousands of diseases that can affect your body immensely. The various diseases, such as diabetes, can sometimes be life threatening. Diabetes is a serious life-long disease that affects the lives of many men, women, and children. If you are overweight, have a family history of diabetes, or not…
