A researcher is curious whether 30 minutes of daily exercise can decrease the blood glucose levels back to normal in patients with type 2 diabetes. what would be the Control Group of this?
A person with diabetes cannot regulate their blood sugar because their pancreas does not release enough insulin. To treat the disease, a person must monitor their blood sugar; if their blood sugar is high, they must take an injection of insulin. How do you think they would need to treat low blood sugar?
Leptin and insulin have similar functions; both are hormones that: A) inhibit NPY release and activate POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus. B) are secreted by fat cells in the body. C) increase hunger, eating behavior, and calorie intake in humans.
A diabetic's blood sugar cannot be controlled because their pancreas can not produce enough insulin. To treat the illness, a person must keep track of their blood sugar levels and, if they are too high, inject insulin. What treatment do you think they'd require for low blood sugar?
Which of the following statements is true about diabetes? a. It can only be inherited. b. Very few people in the world get the condition. c. It is a result of a mismatch between our evolved bodies and our modern lifestyle. d. Once a person is diagnosed with diabetes, the condition rarely progresses.
The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.
Which of the following mechanisms could both be used by the body to increase body temperature if a person forgets a coat on a cold day? A. Superficial blood vessels dilate, and the thyroid decreases metabolism. B. Superficial blood vessels constrict, and the thyroid decreases metabolism. C. Superficial blood vessels dilate, and the thyroid increases metabolism. D. Superficial blood vessels constrict, and the thyroid increases metabolism.
Susan has type 1 diabetes. One day, after accidentally injecting herself with too much insulin, she started to shake and feels confused. Following her doctor's suggestion, she drinks a glass of orange juice (a ready source of glucose). Soon her symptoms subside. What caused her symptoms? How would a glucose-rich snack help?
