Insulin shock therapy

or as it is more commonly known today as type 1 diabetes is a metabolic disorder. The main identifying feature is an absence of insulin production and secretion. It is also caused by autoimmune destruction of your beta cells, which are located in the pancreas. Because the beta cells are destroyed by your own immune system, little or no insulin can be produced. Insulin injections are required to help the body control the levels of blood glucose. But what causes the body to turn upon itself?…

"Central diabetes insipidus is caused by reduced secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)"(Greco, 2013). It doesn't happen very often in most animals. Those that are affected urinate and drink large amounts of water often. It causes pets to be unable to hold water. There are two types of Diabetes Insipidus. The first, Neurogenic, is caused by low/no production of ADH, which helps the body absorb water from the kidneys. The second, Nephrogenic, is due to the kidney not reacting to the ADH. Due to…

Type I diabetes What is type I diabetes? Type I diabetes is a medical condition characterized by autoimmune destruction of beta islets cells in the pancreas, resulting in impaired insulin production and hyperglycemia. Patients often present for the first time to the emergency department with diabetic ketoacidosis – this potentially fatal condition is characterized by metabolic acidosis, ketoacids in the serum and urine, severe dehydration, cardiovascular instability, and respiratory distress.…

What Are The Uses Of Clenbuterol? The uses of Clenbuterol are varied, including the uses of the same as a bronchodilator, and as a lypolitic. Clenbuterol falls in the broad category of the sympathomimetics, which are drugs that stimulate the various smooth muscles, and including the mucous membranes, and inhibit the smooth muscles of the bronchial tree. Such uses of Clenbuterol are applied in the field of asthma or other breathing disorder treatments. Clenbuterol is specifically categorized as…

The circles around her eyes had been there for weeks, perhaps months, and she had not been herself for some time. I didn’t know what was wrong but my sister-in-law had said that we should ask for a diabetes test since Jada had been thirsty and going to the bathroom a lot. Sure, I will ask, I told her, and I did. But in reality I was clueless as to what that even meant. After the first finger poke, came another and then a few minutes later a blood draw. By this time, I realized the nurses were…

Rosella et al. (2011) applied the Diabetes Population Risk Tool (DPoRT) model in a cohort study to determine the risk factors for diabetes mellitus occurrence in Canada whereby it was noted that elevated BMI, increasing age, male gender, hypertension and less than secondary education are risk factors for diabetes. The method entailed first acquiring data from Canadian Community Health Survey administered by Statistics Canada. The individuals who participated in the survey were selected by…

Effects of Exogenous Ketone Supplementation by Shannon Kesl, et al. Background on Ketosis: Ketosis is the state of regularly producing ketones, from using the body's fat reserves for fuel, instead of glucose. When glucose or glycogen is not available, because of diet, fasting or metabolic deficiency (like diabetes) the body will break down protein (amino acids) and (in the long term) break down fats for fuel. This fat break down releases ketones-- a carboxyl (Carbon-Oxygen) group bound to…

How have different neuroscientific techniques added to our understanding of how the brain works? Many different Neuroscientific techniques have been used and developed throughout the years in order to successfully identify and study an individual’s brain function, thus indicating how these techniques help to understand how the brain works, some of these techniques include: Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computed Tomographic (CT), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Magnetic…

sources of glucose. Rice, potatoes, bread, tortillas, cereal, milk, fruit, and sweets are all carbohydrate-rich foods. After a meal, glucose molecules are absorbed into your bloodstream and carried to the cells, where they are used for energy. Insulin, a hormone produced by your pancreas, helps glucose enter cells. If you take in more glucose than your body needs at the time, your body stores the extra glucose in your liver and muscles in a form called glycogen. Your body can use the stored…
