What are the names of long acting insulins?
Long-acting insulins include insulin glargine (Lantus, Toujeo), insulin detemir (Levemir), and insulin degludec (Tresiba). These insulins provide a steady release of insulin over an extended period, helping to manage blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. They are commonly used in the treatment of diabetes to maintain basal insulin levels.
Insulin works as an antagonist to?
glucagon
What works together in a feedback loop?
C. Insulin and Glucagon (APEX)
Which is an oral medication that works within the cells to combat insulin resistance?
Glucophage
What has the author Virginia Valentine written?
Virginia Valentine has written: 'Diabetes type II andwhat to do' -- subject(s): Non-insulin-dependent diabetes, Popular works 'Diabetes type II and what to do' -- subject(s): Non-insulin-dependent diabetes, Popular works
How does cardiovascular fitness affect insulin action in the body?
When you do cardiovascular fitness, muscle glycogen gets used up. When your body works to restore the glycogen your insulin action is heightened. Any type of physical activity makes your insulin action work better.
Which hormone antagonizes glucagon?
Insulin antagonizes glucagon. Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels, and it works to lower blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells and inhibiting the release of glucose from the liver. This is in contrast to glucagon, which is released when blood sugar levels are low and works to increase blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver.
Insulin produces what hormones?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells. It does not produce other hormones; rather, it works in conjunction with other hormones in the body to maintain glucose homeostasis.
What Hormone works with growth hormone to stimulate osteoblasts?
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
What part of the body make insulin?
The pancreas makes insulin. The liver works in conjunction with the pancreas to keep insulin-glucose ratios in balance. But since the pancreas is damaged, the liver often over-compensates during illness and releases too much glucagon, which upsets the precarious glucose-insulin balance that persons with diabetes must manage every day.
How does alcohol increase insulin sensitivity?
Alcohol can increase insulin sensitivity because it can affect the way that the pancreas works. Over time, too much alcohol can keep the pancreas from working at all, leading to diabetes.
How does inhibition works?
Feedback inhibition works when the product of the process is an inhibitor of one or more steps in the process producing the product. An example is the release of insulin upon consumption of food. Eating releases raises blood sugar and high blood sugar releases insulin, which reduces blood sugar levels.
