Hormones and the Ketogenic Diet Ketogenic diet has a direct effect on the level of two important hormones, first is insulin and second is glucagon. On studying the nature of insulin, it is found that insulin is a type of hormone, which is responsible for transporting nutrients to the targeted tissues, by separating the nutrients from the bloodstream. For exam- ple, muscle stores glucose, which becomes glycogen and adipose tissue stores FFA which becomes triglycerides and this is all due to…

Every three Oreo cookies consumed transports 25 grams of glucose into the body. This glucose enters into our bloodstream for support in energy and its storage. One of the main responsibilities of the endocrine system is to maintain homeostasis of blood composition by regulating ions, glucose, and amino acids that dissolve within blood plasma. Therefore, the 25 grams of glucose from the Oreos is dissolved within the bloodstream, which triggers the pancreas to aid in the consumption of the simple…

Juvenile Diabetes symptoms Diabetes is classified as type 1 diabetes and type 2. While type 2 is due to the relative lack of insulin, and due to the lack of insulin, type 1. This means that in type 1 diabetes the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin in the body are not working while some beta cells function in type 2, while others were destroyed. In juvenile diabetes, signs and symptoms during adolescence. Typically, this is the type 1 diabetes. We offer a list of symptoms of diabetes…

Problem Statement Diabetes is a health issue with an increasing rate of diagnosed cases in many communities in the United States. Type II occurs when the pancreas can’t produce enough insulin and lack the ability to take in insulin. It leads to a higher reading of glucose levels, which increases the risk of metabolic complications throughout one’s life (NDEP-“The Diabetes Epidemic”, n.d.). Epidemiology While diabetes most prominently affects the Hispanic/Latino community, it is only in the…

Clinical development Clinical study background Alogliptin (Nesina®) is a new drug for the treatment of adult patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) by inhibiting the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme and thereby prevent degradation of incretin hormones [1]. There were a number of clinical evidences for this DPP-4 inhibitor drug to define its use in treating T2D, including the clinical phase I, clinical phase II and III studies, but this review only detailed descripted some typical clinical…

What causes type 2 diabetes? Eating too much and exercising too little can increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas, which allows glucose (sugar) to leave the bloodstream and enter the cells to be used as fuel. Going from type 2 diabetes when the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body's cells become resistant to insulin. It is not known for sure why some people develop type 2 diabetes and others do not. There are many factors,…

In T1DM, onset of symptoms is often rapid with a characteristic weight loss, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and excessive hunger. To manage the disease, people living with T1DM usually need a supply of insulin from an outside source since the body lacks the ability to produce this hormone. It is important to note that those newly diagnosed with this disease may require less insulin within the first few months of diagnosis because the body is still able to produce some amount of the…
