Yes, insulin is considered reactive because it is released in response to elevated blood glucose levels, typically after eating. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are broken down into glucose, prompting the pancreas to secrete insulin to facilitate the uptake of glucose by cells for energy or storage. This reactive nature helps maintain blood sugar levels within a normal range.

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.
Why isn't hydrogen reactive?
Hydrogen IS reactive
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.
Insulin formed by the Golgi apparatus in insulin-producing cells leaves those cells by?
Insulin formed by the Golgi apparatus in insulin-producing cells leaves those cells by exocytosis. This process involves the insulin-containing vesicles fusing with the cell membrane and releasing insulin into the bloodstream.
Which is the most reactive of the halogens and why is it the most reactive of the halogens?
fluorine is the most reactive
Patients who have elevated levels of C-reactive protein present in their blood are at risk for what disease?
Patients with prolonged elevated levels of C-reactive protein are at an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance, a precursor of type 2 diabetes).
What is lantus insulin?
It is a long acting insulin.
What is the chemical formula for insulin?
The chemical formula of insulin is C256H381N65O79S6
Diabetes is a result of the insufficient production of what?
insulin in the pancreas
Is indium reactive?
It is as reactive as indium. Just kidding, it is reactive. Hoe reactive, more reactive than silver, but not as reactive as tin.
What specific hormone corrects a hyperglycemic state?
Insulin
Can NPH and Regular insulin be mixed?
yes...because regular insulin and Isophane Insulin(NPH) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by pancreas
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.
Why use insulin pump?
An insulin pump can be used as an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin by insulin syringe.This method is known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy.
Is Rubidium reactive or non reactive?
reactive
What is the only insulin that can be given intravenously?
Regular insulin is the only insulin that can be given by IV
Is there pig pee in the insulin?
No . . . human insulin is made from pig insulin, quite often.
