Whose production in inadequate amounts results in diabetes mellitus?
insulin
What hormone produced in inadequate amounts if the person has excessive thirst and high blood glucose levels?
The hormone produced in inadequate amounts in this case is insulin. Insulin is responsible for regulating blood glucose levels by allowing cells to take up glucose from the blood for energy production. Without enough insulin, blood glucose levels can become elevated, leading to symptoms like excessive thirst.
What is the definition of diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels resulting from either inadequate insulin production or the body's inability to respond effectively to insulin. This can lead to various complications affecting multiple organ systems if left uncontrolled. Proper management often involves lifestyle modifications, medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels.
Diabetes is a result of the insufficient production of what?
insulin in the pancreas
What is an insilin?
A polypeptide hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans and functioning in the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, especially the conversion of glucose to glycogen, which lowers the blood glucose level.
What kind of disorder is diabetes type 2?
Diabetes type 2 is a metabolic disorder, caused by insulin resistance in the cells of the body, combined with insufficient insulin formation. It is quite a separate disorder than diabetes type 1, which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Is glucose a hormone that regulates the body's production of insulin?
No, but insulin is a hormone that regulates the body's production of glucose.
Is diabetes type 2 a disease or a disorder?
insulin resistance disorder
What does hyposecretion of the pancreas cause?
Hypo = too low Secretion = production Hyposecretion = too low production Too low production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. The chronic condition is called Diabetes Mellitus.
Which conditions is an insulin resistance disorder?
type 2
What causes the pacreas to stop making or producing insulin?
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which there is an absence or insufficient production of insulin. Two major classifications of diabetes are Type I or insulin-dependent mellitus (IDDM) and Type II, non-insulin dependent mellitus (NIDDM). Though many Type II diabetics use insulin but may still retain some degree of pancreatic function.
Which part of the is responsible for production of insulin?
insulin produced by beta cells of the pancreas
