What else can I help you with?
Where in the human body would you find the glands that secrets insulin?
sugar/glucosePancreas is the structure in the human body that is the usual source of insulin
What is the structure in the human body that is the usual source of insulin?
Pancreas
The role of insulin in the human body is to?
Trigger body cells to take up glucose.
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 organ in the human body is responsible for secreting the hormones insulin?
The pancrease
Homeostasis is illustrated in the human body by the effects of insulin on the amount of what?
Sugar in the blood.
Which organ in human body produces insulin?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes along with the enzymes insulin and glucagon.
Is insulin a biological or non-biological?
Insulin is most definitely a biological substance. It is produced in the body and is made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
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 is the difference between human and analog insulin?
Human Insulin, is a replica of the insulin found naturally in human beings. These are synthetically prepared. An insulin analogue however is an altered form of this human insulin, by addition,subsitution or substraction of one/or more amino acid chain/s. This is done to make insulin more safe and effective for human use.
What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?
The process involves inserting the human gene for insulin into a bacterial plasmid, which acts as a vector. The bacteria then replicates the gene and produces insulin protein. The protein is harvested, purified, and formulated into insulin for medical use.
Why is pig insulin being used as a substitute of human insulin?
Pig insulin is used as a substitute for human insulin in some cases because it is similar in structure and function to human insulin, making it effective in managing diabetes. Additionally, using pig insulin can be more cost-effective and readily available for some patients compared to human insulin.
