Summary Introduction
To determine:
The specific molecule which is being regulated by the drug, when a patient is given a new drug that decreases blood sugar levels.
Concept introduction:
A drug is intentionally used to lower the levels of blood sugar in the patient. The drug will combine with the simpler forms of sugar. The glucose is present in the simpler form of sugar which makes may combine as monomer units and form glycogen. The glycogen is a complex form of sugar found in tissues.

The role of insulin is to signal the cells to uptake glucose from the blood. Is this a positive or negative feedback loop? Explain what would happen if the other type of feedback loop were to occur.
Patients with a history of heart failure may take a medication that keeps calcium in the cells longer. Why would having more calcium in the heart’s cells be beneficial in a patient experiencing heart failure?
A recent newspaper article described a new bottled water that is “super charged” with oxygen. Since the body’s demand for oxygen increases as physical exertion increases, a university athletic coach thought that giving her athletes this oxygenated water would result in better performances. To test this idea, the coach divided her runners up into two groups. During practice, one group was given the super charged, oxygenated water to drink. The other group was given regular water. Both groups completed the same workout and drank the same amount of water (either oxygenated or unoxygenated). At the end of practice, she had all the athletes run 400 meters as fast as they could. She compared the times of the runners who had consumed regular water to those who had consumed the oxygenated water during practice. The coach found that the average time of the oxygenated water drinkers was significantly faster than that of the runners who had consumed regular water during practice. The…
