What is the difference between insulin dependent and insulin independent diabetes?
type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent and type 2 diabetes is insulin independant. basically meanind type 1 is more serious it can cause death if not treated properly. Type 2 is not insulin dependent unless the person does not exercise enough and eat right, then some Type 2 Diabetic can become insulin dependent.
Why brain cells do not utilise fatty acids and depend on ketone bodies?
In the Alzheimer's brain, insulin does not function well and does not help brain cells gather glucose from the blood which fuels their function. Ketones work as an alternate brain fuel. Ketones can be synthesized in your liver from coconut oil.
Why are nerve cells particularly sensitive to changes in blood glucose concentration?
Nerve cells, or neurons, are particularly sensitive to changes in blood glucose concentration because they rely primarily on glucose as their main energy source. Unlike other cells in the body, neurons cannot store glucose and depend on a steady supply from the bloodstream to maintain normal function. Fluctuations in blood glucose levels can impair neuronal activity, leading to symptoms such as confusion, weakness, or even loss of consciousness in extreme cases. Additionally, their high metabolic demand makes them more vulnerable to energy deficits caused by low glucose levels.
Insulin-dependent diabetics depend upon what microorganisms?
Selectively bred
Is Type one diabetes insulin dependent?
Yes, Type 1 Diabetes is insulin-dependent. So the medication times are pretty hectic. The patients depend on insulin to stay healthy and live longer lives.
How do diuretics cause hyperlipidemia?
Diuretics (For e.g. Thiazide) causes Hypokalemia. It will cause the potassium to be secreted in urine. Due to hypokalemia, there will be less insulin release (as both depend on each other). The less amount of insulin release cause the glucose level to rise in plasma, causing Hyperglycemia. As the glucose level rises, there will be more Triglycerides form, it will lead to LDL(low density lipoproteins) and Very Low Density Liporoteins- These are bad cholestrol-Causing Hyperlipidemia. Hope it helps. -Shua
Is fat is the primary fuel for the brain?
While the brain can use both glucose and ketones for fuel, it has a preference for glucose. However, during periods of fasting or on a ketogenic diet, the brain can efficiently use ketones, which are produced from fat breakdown, as an alternative fuel source.
Explain the Z-Buffer algorithm for removing hidden surfaces?
Depend on the memory availability
If you are dying and you have diabetes should treatment for the diabetes be stopped?
That would depend on how long you have to live. If it is only about 24 hours. then you may as well stop diabetes treatment, otherwise, the treatment should continue to the last day. An insulin dependent diabetic can go into an acidosis coma after a few days without any blood glucose management and can possibly die within a week if insulin is not administered, based on the pancreas damage and the fat-sugar conversion in the body.
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
How large are neurons?
It Does depend on how big the person is because if your little you will have less nerves in your body than a big person so it does depend on how big you are.
How many units are in 250mg?
You are perhaps taking medicine? The answer would depend on the sustance being taken; a unit of insulin is not the same as a unit of Vitamin A.
