Describe the roles of calcium in the cell, and the mechanisms that the cell uses to control intracellular calcium levels (90%). Name at least two drugs that affect these processes, indicating their mechanism of action and effect on calcium levels (10%).
Define the following terms:a. hyperinsulinemiab. dyslipidemiac. hyperglycemiad. glucosuriae. hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketosis
CC was taken to hospital breathing but unresponsive after two days of heavy alcohol consumption and limited food intake. According to CC's past medical history they had a history of chronic alcohol addiction and fatty liver disease. Analysis of CC's serum glucose returned a value of < 20 mg/dL, indicating severe hypoglycemia. The attending physician prescribed a bolus of D-glucose to help re-establish CC's blood glucose to within normal bounds. Analysis of the CC's serum electrolytes and PaCCh was suggestive of metabolic acidosis.
Analysis of CC's blood suggested metabolic acidosis. In CC's case, what can cause metabolic acidosis?

Twomonths later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extremeweakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found thatshe had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels ofalanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasmaglucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding,antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet.

Sodium urate precipitates out of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormally high. This sometimes happens as a result of eating too many rich foods and consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimes referred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration in blood plasma is 0.140 M, and Ksp for sodium urate is 5.76 * 10 - 8, what minimum concentration of urate would result in precipitation?arrow_forward
