Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
Is the cause of diabetes environmental or hereditary?
While the exact cause of diabetes has not been completely identified yet there is evidence that both hereditary and environmental are factors. Both of them may help in the development of prediabetes and insulin resistance.
Insulin deficiency or resistance leads to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis?
Diabetes Mellitus
How can insulin resistance be prevented?
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
What are the symptoms of mild insulin resistance?
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
What is the body chemistry associated with insulin resistance?
High blood sugar from food stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin into the blood. However, in insulin resistance, the insulin is secreted but is only partially absorbed by the tissues.
How will fat stop insulin from functioning?
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to resond to insulin?
Insulin resistance.
Which adipokine promotes insulin resistance?
Retinol binding protein, TNF alpha, Interleukin, Chimerin are some. Some can reduce insulin resistance- Adiponectin
Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change hereditary traits or produce biological products?
Since biological products, such as human insulin or human growth hormone, are hereditary traits, the manipulation of DNA is performed in order to change hereditary traits, which results in a change in the production of biological products. For example, bacteria do not ordinarily produce human insulin or human growth hormone as hereditary traits. However, manipulating their genome so that they carry human insulin genes or human growth hormone genes is done to change their hereditary traits, such as changes in their production of biological products, so that the bacteria now produce human insulin and human growth hormone.
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to respond to secretion of insulin?
insulin resistance
What is the prognosis for mild asymptomatic insulin resistance?
In mild asymptomatic insulin resistance, proper treatment may lead to a complete reversal, with normalization of blood sugar.
