Scientists made insulin by isolating it from the pancreas of animals, such as pigs and cows, initially. Later, recombinant DNA technology allowed for the production of human insulin using genetically engineered bacteria or yeast cells. This process revolutionized insulin production, making it more widely available and reducing the risk of allergic reactions from animal-derived insulin.
What else can I help you with?
How many moles of insulin are need to make up 45 ml of 0.0052m insulin solution?
To calculate the number of moles of insulin needed, you can use the formula: moles = Molarity × Volume (in liters). In this case, 0.0052 mol/L × 0.045 L = 0.000234 moles of insulin are required to make up a 45 ml solution.
What is the chemical formula for insulin?
The chemical formula of insulin is C256H381N65O79S6
Why did Frederick Banting invent insulin?
Insulin was actually discovered by Nicolae Paulescu, a Romanian scientist in 1916. His work predated that of Fredrick Banting by five years, although Banting went on the win the Nobel Prize along with John Mcleod, although Charles Best was not recognized for the contributions to their re-discovery of insulin. The common misconception that insulin was "invented" by Canadians persists to this day. Also, insulin is a naturally occurring substance and thus was discovered. However, different means by which it can by synthesized have been invented.
Can regular insulin and nph be mixed together?
Yes, regular insulin (short-acting) and NPH insulin (intermediate-acting) can be mixed together in the same syringe. However, it is important to follow proper mixing techniques and dosage guidelines as instructed by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate dosing and effectiveness of the insulin.
A cook would make a good scientist?
Both a cook and a scientist require precision, experimentation, and attention to detail. A cook uses these skills to create delicious dishes by following recipes and techniques, while a scientist uses them to conduct experiments and analyze data to make new discoveries or advancements in knowledge. So, a cook could potentially make a good scientist with the right training and interest in scientific principles.
Is the insulin made by E.coli better or worse than insulin made by human?
The insulin that we engineer bacteria to make (E.colidoes not naturally make insulin) is identical to human insulin.
What part of the animal is used to make insulin?
The pancreas of the animal is used to make insulin.
Why dont skin cells make insulin?
because the gene to make insulin isn't expressed
Which best describes a scientist found the human gene that makes insulin?
They worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.
Which glands make insulin?
pancreas
Why insulin is used?
Insulin is usually made in your body automatically; diabetes is when your body does not make enough insulin. So some people with diabetes have to take insulin to control their blood sugar.
What was Fredeick Banting famous for?
he was a Canadian medical scientist, doctor and Nobel laureate noted a one of the main discoverers of insulin.
How bacteria can make human insulin?
Yes, bacteria are used to make insulin. First restriction enzymes cut a human DNA strand where the gene to make insulin is located. Then, that fragment of human DNA is inserted into a bateria plasmid that reproduces and as it reproduces it creates more insulin.
Does human insulin come from a human or an animal?
Humans, who are not diabetic, make the insulin they need within their own bodies.
Why don't white blood cells make insulin?
Insulin is made in the pancreas, not by blood cells. They have other jobs to do.
Why do you have to use insulin when you have diabetes?
Everyone has insulin and the pancreas makes it. When your body doesn't make insulin that is diabetes. Insulin is the liquid the pancreas makes so that you can break down nutritious food into energy. So with diabetes you have to get the insulin with a shot in the arm, leg, butt, or stomach.
What if insulin was never made?
Insulin cannot cross the placenta, so if a person were to never make insulin they would probably die in utero. The normal human fetus begins making its own insulin at about day 14.
