Is sugar a stimulant?
Not necessarily. Sugar is not a stimulant by itself, however, it causes the production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone vital to regulating the amount of energy in your body. Therefore, a high insulin level will results in effects mimicking a moderate stimulant. However, this obviously would take a large amount of sugar.
What microorganism produce the human protein that insulin dependent diabetics rely upon to uptake glucose from their bloodstream?
The insulin gene will be extracted from cells from an animal such as a pig, and placed into the loop of DNA in a microorganism. When the microorganism reproduces, the DNA gene will reproduce with it, and this is repeated again and again and the micro-organsms will produce insulin. Whe a sufficient amount of microorganisms have been grown, the insulin will be extracted and used in medicine
How does insulin effect blood sugar and how does this relate to type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is the chemical released from the pancreas (in non-Diabetics) to lower blood sugar whenever we eat. Type 1 Diabetics are insulin dependent (need to inject themselves with insulin to stay at a healthy blood sugar level) and Type 2 Diabetics who don't necessarily look after themselves well may need to become insulin dependent.
What are some ways that the body maintaion homeostasis?
Homeostasis is where the body tries to keep its internal conditions constant. Some of the ways it does this are: sweating which then evaporates and cools down the skin; vasoconstriction, where blood vessels connected to skin capillaries constrict to reduce the amount of blood going to the skin, this reduces the amount of heat lost by radiation from the skin. The body also dilates blood vessels that are connected to skin capillaries in order to increase the amount of heat lost through radiation from the skin. Shivering also maintains core body temperature; when you get too cold your body shivers (contracts and retracts muscles) this causes cellular respiration which releases heat.
What is the term for the ability of the body to maintain a fairly constant blood-sugar level in spite of variations in intake of sugar?
The term for the body's ability to maintain a fairly constant blood-sugar level is called "glucose homeostasis." This process involves a complex interplay of hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.
Homeostasis is illustrated in the human body by the effects of insulin on the amount of what?
Sugar in the blood.
How would a doctor know the pancreas is damaged?
the amount of insulin in her blood is wrong
How do you get help for Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome?
PCOS is connected to insulin resistance. When a person eats a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (which is basically a long chain of glucose molecules hooked together), the body had to work hard to handle the sugar by producing insulin. Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. This effects the glands as they are a communication system on to the other and effects the ovaries. You can read more at www.mcvitamins.com/pcos.htm
Why the increase in insulin secretion in response to parasympathetic stimulation is consistent with the maintenance of homeostasis?
I'm not an expert on this subject, but I do know that insulin levels have to keep up with the amount of sugar in your blood. Your cells can't use the sugar to produce energy without the insulin to help them absorb it. Homeostasis is the chemical reactions in the body, so the insulin must help cells absorb sugar so they can have the chemical reaction that produces energy. Like I said, I'm not the expert, but I hope that helps!
What are uses of insulin?
The use of insulin is lowering the amount of sugar in the blood in diabetic patiens.
What is serum insulin?
It means the amount of insulin found in the watery part of the blood called serum.
Can you eat how many carbohydrates you want while having type 1 diabetes as long as you take the right amount of insulin for it?
as long as you have the right amount of insulin for it you can. i have type 1 diabetes and am also on an insulin pump, which pumps a fast acting insulin in through a small tube every hour or when programed to. it is based on the amount of carbs you intake, not serves. so yes, as long as you have the insulin you can.
Name the protein that controls the amount of sugar in the blood?
Insulin is the protein that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. It is produced by the pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose from the blood into cells for energy.
What is it when you take in the same amount of calories you need is?
homeostasis
Is sugar a stimulant?

Therefore, a high insulin level will results in effects mimicking a moderate stimulant. However, this obviously would take a large amount of sugar.
What are the units injected by a diabetic?
It's an agreed amount of insulin.
If you could lower your dosage of insulin by taking other drugs or meds should you do so or would you be better off to just continue with the insulin?
This depends on the amount of glucose in your blood,"glycemia" if it's really low you should consider reducing the amount of insulin.
