How is insulin produced using bacteria in the manufacturing process?
Insulin is produced using bacteria in a process called recombinant DNA technology. In this process, the gene for human insulin is inserted into the DNA of bacteria, such as E. coli. The bacteria then produce insulin as they grow and multiply. The insulin is harvested and purified for use in treating diabetes.
What condition results if insulin is not produced?
Diabetes
What is type 3 diabetes and how it different from types 1 & 2?
Diabetes is a disease caused by low insulin levels. Type 1 & 2 diabetes deal with insulin produced in the pancreas. Within the past decade, researchers have discovered insulin is also produced in the brain. Type 3 diabetes corresponds with low levels of insulin produced in the brain.
Which two physicians first insolated the hormone insulin used in treating diabetes?
Banting and Best
Can diabetes be cured with a organ transplant?
Yes it can. There are two types of diabetes, insulin dependant and non insulin dependant. Diabetes ends up affecting the kidney and eventually a kidney transplant will be required. Because diabetes is caused by the insulin production, in the insulin dependant diabetes, often a pancreas and kidney transplant will take place. The pancreas is where the insulin is produced. By replacing the pancreas, insulin production becomes normal and diabetes is cured.
Characteristic of type 1 diabetes mellitus?
Little or no Insulin Produced
Hormone responsible for diabetes?
If the body does not have enough insulin, then one can get diabetes. If the cells can not use the insulin the body has very well, then one can get diabetes. If one has diabetes, then the doctor might say to use insulin. If the body has too much insulin, then the cells store energy in the cells as fat. When a person is overweight, that is one of the main symptoms of diabetes. If the body and cells use insulin well to control blood sugar level, then the person is not diabetic.
What type of Diabetes is due to poor utilization of the insulin produced?
Type 2
What organ of the digestive system is associated with diabetes?
The pancreas is the organ associated with diabetes in the digestive system. It plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels by producing insulin. In people with diabetes, the pancreas either produces insufficient insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or the body becomes resistant to the insulin produced (Type 2 diabetes).
Can I have gastric bypass if I have diabetes?
Yes many cases have shown that when people with diabetes have the gastric bypass surgery it makes their pancreas produce more insulin natrully treating the diabetes but not always curing it.
What occurs in the body with type II diabetes?
In Type II diabetes, the pancreas may produce enough insulin, however, cells have become resistant to the insulin produced and it may not work as effectively
EColi makes insulin because?
E. coli can be genetically engineered to produce insulin through the introduction of the gene encoding insulin. This allows the bacteria to synthesize and secrete insulin protein, which can then be harvested and used for medical purposes, such as treating diabetes.
