Question
You are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes. You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning.
- Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study.
- Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group?
- Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body?
- What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples.
- Identify the dependent variable in this study and describe the results you would expect if your hypothesis were supported. Be sure to explain your reasoning.

- Which of the following statements is true? a) High insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in muscle b) High insulin/glucagon ratio inhibits lipolysis in liver c) High insulin/glucagon d) Low insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytes ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytesarrow_forwardThe glycemic index is a ranking scale used as an indicator of how high and how fast your blood sugar (blood glucose levels) will rise and then elicit an insulin response. An example of a food with a low glycemic index would be Obeans O white sugar O soda pop (ex.: coke) O fruit drink Question 8 of 61arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about insulin is true? Question 19 options: Insulin stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose. Insulin facilitates the movement of intracellular glucose transporters to the cell membrane. Insulin acts as a transport protein, carrying glucose across the cell membrane. Insulin stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb glucose into the bloodstream.arrow_forward
- You are the laboratory manager. The hospital administration wants to penetrate the market and expand the business by performing Parathyroid Surgeries (reimbursement $15,000). They have enticed a prominent surgeon to join the staff He plans on scheduling four surgeries per week - two on Tuesday and two on Thursdays. Every case will need on intact Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) performed STAT during surgery. You currently send this test to your reference laboratory with a minimum 24-hour TAT. None of the analyzers currently in your lab are capable of running this test. The best pricing you obtain is from Siemens Diagnostics for an Immulite 1000. The price of the analyzer is $75,000. The price of the test kit is $800 for 100 tests. The test requires three levels of controls run per 24 hours. The stability of the test kit once opened is eight weeks. Reimbursement for the test is $20. You realize that you will only be able to run on average 32 tests (patient reportable results) before discarding…arrow_forwardRachael is a runner from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has been competing in marathons for over 10 years and enjoys all types of challenges. Although she has competed in a few triathlons, she is not an experienced swimmer. She plans to train for a year and then attempt to swim 21 miles in the Everest Open Water Swim Competition. Rachael is extremely lean due to running. She is concerned about the water temperatures as they are very cold. Your discussion response must answer/prove the following: 1. What nutrition recommendations would you give Rachael in regard to fat intake to address her physical and dietary needs over the next 12 months as she trains for the swim? Include suggestions for before, during, and after the actual swim.arrow_forwardIodine is an important micronutrient involved in thyroxine production. Without adequate iodine present in the diet, a thyroid dysfunction called a goitre may occur. a) Iodine is necessary for the synthesis of thyroxine. In your own words, hypothesize about how an excess of iodine in the diet may or may not affect people. b) A hypothesis can be accepted or rejected through research. With respect to the thyroxine feedback loop, provide one scientifically valid explanation that supports or refutes your hypothesis.arrow_forward

- After a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.arrow_forwardWhich two statements below accurately describe the roles of insulin and glucagon in maintaining metabolic homeostasis?
