INTRODUCTION
INSULIN
peptide hormone made by the beta cells of the pancreas that
allows the body to utilize glucose from carbohydrates in food to become
an energy source or to store for future use (lipogenesis, glycogenesis)
secreted when blood glucose level is high
promotes absorption of glucone in fat, liver and skeletal muscles
keeps blood sugar level in normal range
INTRODUCTION
DIABETES
the most common problem associated with insulin
occurs when body does not secrete enough insulin or when the
body cant use the insulin secreted in the body effectively
INTRODUCTION
TYPE 1 DIABETES
pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to meet the bodys needs
common in children
SIGNS:
tiredness, increased urination and thirst, and problems with
vision
INTRODUCTION
TYPE 2 DIABETES
common with adults
associated with lifestyle
there is insulin production but the body cant use it effectively
MATERIALS
Distilled H20
50% sterile glucose soln.
4 adult laboratory mice (same sex and weight).
Regular insulin
Tuberculin syringe
Gavage needle
Epinephrine
