Summary Introduction

To describe: The reason for giving rehydration fluid containing K+ to the patients suffering from acute diabetic ketoacidosis and dehydration.

Introduction: The patient suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) also shows symptoms of metabolic acidosis. The metabolic acidosis is a result of mass imbalance due to high dietary and metabolic input of H+ than its excretion. The leading cause of metabolic acidosis in a diabetic patient is the production of acidic ketone bodies as a result of the excess breakdown of fats or amino acids by the liver.

A person is suspected with diabetes mellitus. He checks his blood glucose level by gluceose oxidase method. After the experiment, OD of his blood sample was obtained as 0.08. Based on the glucose standard curve seen in the virtual lab, calculate his blood glucose level. Is he had diabetes mellitus? (Note: Normal blood glucose level in our body is 70-110mg/dl).    Find out the role and chemical reactions of the following reagents in the blood glucose level determination by glucose oxidase method.                                a)    Sodium sulphate – Zinc sulphate solution                                  b )     Glucose oxidase reagent                              c)  Peroxidase    A person did estimation of blood glucose level by glucose oxidase method by referring the virtual lab procedure. But he forgot to add ortho -  toluidine reagent during glucose oxidase reagent preparation.                              a)    What is the observation of the result?…
The hormones insulin and glucagon play an important role in the regulation of plasma glucose.a) Discuss the antagonistic actions of the hormones insulin and glucagon in regulating blood glucose levels within a narrow physiological range.
Bodybuilders have been known to inject insulin to increase muscle mass because it stimulates protein anabolism. What is one of the risks associated with this practice in terms of K+ levels: elevated blood plasma K+ (hyperkalemia) or decreased blood plasma K+ (hypokalemia)? Could the practice of injecting insulin to increase muscle mass be fatal?
