(reg) • BGL 16mmols/L • Urinalysis; glucose present Question 1 What is the normal range of BGL (Blood Glucose Level)? (1 mark) The normal range of BGL for most of the healthy individuals when fasting is between 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L and up to 7.8 mmol/L approximately 2 hours after eating (Morris 2014). Question 2 Explain the role of glucagon in approx. 25 words (2 marks) Glucagon signifies “the liver and muscles to turn glycogen into glucose and release glucose back into the bloodstream” (Morris 2014)

Used 5 different barrel pipettes, added onion juice up to the 1 cm mark of the first test tube, potato juice to the 1 cm mark of the second, deionized water up to the 1 cm mark of the third, glucose solution to the 1 cm mark of the fourth, and the starch solution to the 1 cm mark of the fifth test
person’s ability to handle a certain load of glucose, thus it is important that they have not eating anything that will interfere with the results. Initially, a fasting glucose blood tested is performed. If an individual has high resting blood glucose level, it indicates that their body is unable to produces insulin to regulate normal level of blood glucose. After administrating a small glucose dose, it takes approximately 2 hours for blood glucose levels to return to normal, and much longer to

1. Describe how you have collaborated as part of a multidisciplinary team in order to diagnose this patient’s condition? How have you contributed to the effective working of this team? (4 marks) In the practical I was on the clinical biochemistry bench. My role was to carry out the cholesterol test for Mr Smith. The results for the cholesterol test were essential in the diagnosis as it could indicate whether Mr Smith was at risk of heart disease. Throughout the practical all students worked together
first lab, we tested for the presence of proteins in samples by using blue solution called Biuret reagent, which changes to purple when a protein is present and pinkish-purple for peptides. First test tubes were marked at 1cm and then filled to the mark with water, albumin, pepsin, and starch. Next, five drops of Biuret reagent was added to the sample, covered with Parafilm, and swirled to mix. The water remained clear, indicating the sample lacked the presence of proteins, and thus was our negative
The Interaction of Glucose and Exercise The objective of this study was to see whether or not exercise has an influence on glucose levels; If it does, then how much does it affect the levels? What is the reason that outcome came about? These are just some of the questions that this study hoped to provoke and shed some light on. Before beginning the experiment, a literature review was conducted in order to gain familiarity with the topic and to build an expectation for the outcome. Several studies
two hormones are responsible for the control of glucose levels in the blood. The process ensures that there is a constant supply of glucose to the cells to perform various functions in the body consistently (Unger, Anna & Leonard 1031). The experiment compares the glucose concentration in the mesenteric arteries, the hepatic vein, and the hepatic portal vein before and after food consumption to establish the implication of the two hormones on the glucose levels. Mesenteric arteries carry
Therapeutics Coursework Part A 2015 QUESTION A - DATA HANDLING EXERCISE Below are data from a Phase 2, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, testing the effectiveness of two doses of a new drug designed to lower glucose concentrations in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. In each trial, patients with Type 2 diabetes were randomised to receive one of two doses of drug or matching placebo once daily for 10 weeks. Whilst the drug has been well tolerated in earlier
experiment mimics the nature of a selective plasma membrane and with time, monitors to passing of substances in and out of the barrier. The end results should appear to show a color changing chemical reaction within the more concentrated tube of 15%glucose/1%starch solution. Initially the clear and milky appearance should transform into a black and deep purple hue from the attachment of iodine to the sugar solution. The experiment has been conducted previously yielding various results. External factors
