Given insulin's structure, where is its target likelylocated?Insulin's adverse side effects include headache, nau-sea, hunger, confusion and weakness. What can thesesymptoms be attributed to?Insulin has major effects on muscle and adipose tissue. It increases the rate of glucose transportacross the cell membrane, decreases the rate of lipolysis, and increases uptake of triglycerides andsome amino acids from the blood. In doing so, what metabolic processes does it favor?Carbohydrates:Lipids:Proteins:

We know that beta cells constitute 70 percent of pancreatic islet cells and secrete insulin. Also…

Which of the following statements about insulin is true? Insulin acts as a transport protein, cany in g glucose across the cell membrane. Insulin facilitates the movement of inti acellular glucose transporters to the cell membrane. Insulin stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose. Insulin stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb glucose into the bloodstream.

Insulin facilitates the movement of intracellularglucose transporters to the cell membrane.c. Insulin stimulates the breakdown of storedglycogen into glucose.d. Insulin stimulates the kidneys to reabsorbglucose into the bloodstream
Compare and contrast formulation of long acting insulin and short acting insulin. How do their properties help control the rate at which the Delivered insulin enters bloodstream?
How the insulin is tagged and stored for the cell membrane ?
In order to help Mike understand, explain how the rate of insulin release differs after consumption of simple andcomplex carbohydrates. You may choose to answer with words or a labeled diagram Now use your table to explain to Mike why elevated insulin levels are associated with heart disease.
Discuss the following statement: “We wouldhave no idea today of the importance of insulin as a reg-ulatory hormone if its absence were not associated withthe human disease diabetes. It is the dramatic conse-quences of its absence that focused early efforts on theidentification of insulin and the study of its normal role inphysiology.”
Why would a cause of hyperinsulinism be hypoglycemia? Don’t lower levels of blood glucose inhibit of insulin rather than produce large amounts of it to result in hyperinsulinism?
Would a metabolic rational for a child who has a similar diet to other children but after infections or vigorous exercise has low blood glucose levels and increased lactic acid in the blood along with potential lethargy, shakiness and irritability be type 1 diabetes? Noting that an effective treatment for them is alanine supplementation in the diet.
Discuss the mechanism of action of insulin in maintaining the homeostasis of blood sugar in a normal human body.
(human physiology) 1) Match the insulin types (1-3) with the plots (A-C)? Explain? 2) Oral administration (e.g. in the form of pills) of insulin and subcutaneous administration, which is more effective? Why? 3) Why are elderly, sedentary, obese and regular smokers at high risk of diabetes?
Why can't insulin be given per os? Please explain Please cite/reference the book in which you found the solution.
Fatty acids appear to stimulate insulin secretion to a much greater extent when glucose is also present. Why is this significant?
