What gland produces insulin and glucagon?
Glucose MetabolismPancreas, liver and muscle cells are responsible for glucose metabolism and if there is any defect in this organ may end up with diabetes. DiabetesType1 diabetes - body has no or low insulin production, which is caused by autoimmune disorder and only treated with insulin shots. Type2 diabetes - pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.InsulinInsulin a hormone needed for effective conversion of glucose into energy and keep as energetic and maintain blood glucose level.
Why is glucagon called anti insulin hormonewhy does it have this name?
It keeps your insulin that is in your body from causing your bood sugar to get any lower. Then it begins to raise your blood sugar. This isn't a very good technique though which is why it is only to be used if you are unconcious.
What Photosynthesis produces and where does it produce it?
Photosynthesis is produced in the leaves of any plant. This is how the process of Photosynthesis works: The roots soak in water and minerals from the ground and the plant collects carbon dioxide from the air and with sunlight, the plant produces food also known as glucose or sugar.
How many ring structure can be found in the molecular structure of a hormone?
Hormones can have one or more ring structures in their molecular structure. For example, steroids such as testosterone have four rings, while peptides like insulin do not have any ring structures. The number of ring structures in a hormone depends on its specific molecular structure and composition.
Is Lily a flowering plant or a non-flowering plant?
yes I think so as there is flower Any plant with a flower is a flowering plant. Lily's have flowers, so they are flowering plants.
Thyroid does it have any relationship with diabetes?
No, the thyroid gland is not related to diabetes. Diabetes is a disease relating to the production of the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas (and specifically, by parts of the pancreas known as the Isles of Langerhans), not by the thyroid gland, which produces a hormone called thyroxin.
Which hormone has more target cells in the body than any of the others?
Insulin has more target cells in the body than any other hormone. It regulates glucose metabolism in nearly every cell in the body, influencing processes such as energy production and storage.

Does insulin still work if you drink it?
nothing when my little brother learnt how to undo zips he got into my bag and sucked insulin fron a cartridge and when we took him to hospital and they told use that your stomach acid is stronger than insulin and will destroy it before it can have any affect on you ------- That is perfectly true. Insulin is a type of protein (a hormone), and as all the other protein, insulin is broken down into amino acids (which make up the proteins), started in the stomach, finished in the small intestine. It is absorbed from the small intestine for further use in the body. Once it is broken down, it becomes just a number of harmless amino acids. That is the reason why insulin has to be injected. If it goes through digestion it is no longer a 'hormone'; it loses all the function of an insulin hormone has, including its affects on blood glucose.

Does insulin convert to energy?
No, insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells for energy production. Insulin triggers cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream, where it is then used for energy or stored as glycogen or fat for later use.
This protein regulates the amount of glucose in your blood?
Insulin is the regulator of glucose in the bloodstream. It is a hormone produced by the pancreas and affects the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and proteins. As a result of the importance of insulin to the body, any malfunction has a disastrous effect on the body's organs.
How does insulin help cure diabetes?
Besides a Pancreatic transplant, there is no cure for Diabetes; Insulin merely allows a Diabetic to lead an almost perfectly normal and healthy life. Insulin is a natural chemical produced in your body by an organ called the Pancreas. The purpose of Insulin is to regulate your Blood Sugar Level. Those with diabetes must take Insulin daily as their Pancreas no longer produces any, or a sufficient amount, of Insulin.
How is diabetes caused by a hormone imbalance?
Either too little or no Insulin (hormone) is produced to counteract an increase in Blood Glucose Levels due to hormonal imbalance. If enough Insulin is produced then most of the glucose can be stored and the rest would be excreted by urination. The hormonal imbalance can be genetic but can also be due to a longterm, unhealthy lifestyle where a lot of sugar is consumed and little exercise done. Target cells in the liver become adapted to high BGL and do not produce Insulin to counteract a small increase in BGL.
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of what?
Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.
Is a hosta plant a primary consumer?
No, any plant is a producer not a primary consumer, any living organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis is a producer. :)
What is produced in the pancreas?
It produces and secretes digestive enzyme and the body's supply of insulin. Without a pancreas, one would have to take a digestive enzyme with each meal and would have type 1 diabetes.The pancreas produces insulin to help the body digest the glucose that your body gets from your food.The pancreas produces pancreatic juice (which goes to the small intestine to help digestion) and hormones. The most common hormone that it produces is insulin; insulin regulates the amount of sugar in your blood.Pancreatic juice contains important enzymes such as lipase, amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. Lipase helps to breakdown the fat in you food and body. Amylase helps to break down the starch in your body. And the high concentration of biocarbonate ions in the carboxypeptidase neutralizes the acidic gastric juice.As you can see the pancreas is a very important organ to the human body.
