What else can I help you with?
Is there any parfolene gland in the human body?
There is no specific "parfolene gland" in the human body. It is possible that you may be referring to a different term or gland. If you can provide more information or clarify the term, I would be happy to help answer your question.
Why cant you mix insulin into food instead of injecting?
Mixing insulin into food would alter its effectiveness, as the digestive process breaks down insulin before it can enter the bloodstream to regulate blood sugar. Insulin injections deliver the hormone directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and effectiveness. Mixing insulin into food would not provide the same controlled and reliable blood sugar management as injections.
What happens when you drink insulin?
It depends on what type of glucose, but it's most likely the same as what is usually referred to as 'sugar', so it would just be very sweet. If you have a jar of glucose in a science lab, you should probably not taste it, because it's probably got a few impurities so it could make you quite ill.
If you wanted to find the glands that produce salivary amylase where would you look?
You would look for the salivary glands, including the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, which produce salivary amylase. These glands are located in and around the mouth and release saliva containing the enzyme salivary amylase to help break down carbohydrates in the mouth.
On which of these organs would the adrenal glands be located?
The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys.
What is the glands?
That would depend on which glands you are talking about in the human or animal body.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
Human insulin is preferable to animal insulin because it is made through genetic engineering, ensuring higher purity and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, human insulin closely mimics the natural insulin produced by the human body, which leads to more predictable and consistent results in managing diabetes. Lastly, human insulin is now more widely available and cost-effective compared to animal-derived insulin.
What is the second step that would be required to produce human insulin in bacteria?
The second step to produce human insulin in bacteria involves cloning the human insulin gene into a suitable plasmid vector. This plasmid is then introduced into the bacteria, typically Escherichia coli, through a process called transformation, allowing the bacteria to express the human insulin protein. Subsequent steps would involve culturing the bacteria and harvesting the insulin for purification.
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.
What is synthetic human insulin?
Insulin is a hormone secreted from the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels. Since it is a hormone it is a protein. Proteins can be synthesized with the help of bacteria in a process called pcr. Synthesizing insulin would not be easy at home. Hormones are commonly obtained from animals such as the pig.
When was Human Insulin produced by mircobes?
In 1983 scientists worked out a way of producing human insulin on a large scale using genetically modified bacteria. They did this by first working out which human chromosome was responsible for producing insulin. They then isolated that chromosome using a restricting enzyme. They would then remove the plasmid from the bacterium, cut out a small piece of the plasmid using enzymes and then replace the gap made with the human insulin gene. The genetically engineered plasmid is the inserted into a new bacterium and this bacterium is allowed to grow and multiply. Each of the new bacteria would contain the human insulin gene and as the bacteria continued to multiply they would be producing insulin which could then be used to treat diabetes. In this way we could produce large amounts of insulin that was suitable for vegetarian use and causes very few allergic reactions quickly and cost effectively.
Is human insulin made from yeast?
It would be more correct to say that bacteria and yeast can be genetically modified to produce a compound which is chemically identical to human insulin.So can plants, by the way; a safflower plant with the genes to produce bio-identical human insulin has been demonstrated.
Why the immune system would be able to distinguish animal insulin from human insulin.?
The immune system can distinguish animal insulin from human insulin due to differences in their amino acid sequences. While insulin from different species is quite similar, even small variations can be recognized by the immune system's antibodies and T-cells, which are trained to identify foreign proteins. This recognition can lead to an immune response, making animal insulin less effective or potentially triggering allergic reactions in humans.

A drastic change in the metabolic rate of a human would most likely result from the?
Malfunction of the endocrine glands
What would be the goal of the researcher who inserted the gene for insulin into bacteria?
The goal of the researcher who inserted the gene for insulin into bacteria would be to produce recombinant insulin efficiently and cost-effectively. By using bacteria as a host, the researcher aims to harness the microorganisms' rapid growth and ability to replicate the inserted human insulin gene, leading to large-scale production of insulin for medical use. This method can significantly enhance the availability of insulin for diabetes treatment while reducing reliance on animal sources.
Genetically engineered insulin advantages and disadvantages?
Zade Lunat *the advantage is that it is the only viable source of clinical quantities of human insulin. Before it's FDA approval for Genetech patients would inject animal insulin purified from animal tissue. Disadvantages? From the frame of mind that is the ONLY source of externally provided human insulin it is hard to attribute disadvantages.
