Many diabetics do not respond to insulin because of a deficiency of insulin receptors on their cells. How does this aff ect (a) the levels of circulating glucose immediately after a meal and (b) the rate of glycogen synthesis in muscle?
For each of the following examples, indicate whether the drug is acting on physical process, chemical process or enzymatic system (your answer should be only; Physical, Chemical or Enzymatic). A. A drug is used as an antidote in lead poisoning and acts by binding to lead particles in body (chelation therapy). B. A drug acts to reduce flatulence and acts by reducing the surface tension of intestinal gas bubbles in the GI tract (e.g. Simethicone). C. A drug competes with alpha-glucosidase in intestine to reduce glucose conversion from disaccharides (e.g. Acarbose).

A glycine has been substituten in at A21, and two new arginines have been added as B31 and B32 d. A "C-peptide" chain has been added e. The usual insulin molecule has been combined with zinc isophane
HbA1c is used to monitor blood glucose levels because hemoglobin is the only protein in blood that is covalently modified by glucose. True False Insulin Glargine is a long-acting form of insulin that is synthesized with several D-amino acids that slow its proteolytic degradation and extend the half-life of the insulin Glargine molecule. True False

Question 89 options: a) Decreased production of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) b) An increased secretion of thyroid-stimulatory hormone (TSH) c) A direct effect on the synthesis of thyroglobulin on ribosomes d) Decreased gene expression due to the inability of receptors to bind to DNA
Despite the fact that many peptides have critical physiological functions(e.g., as hormones, neurotransmitters, antibacterial toxins), they are not considered to be ideal as drugs. The following questions illustrate some of the issues that limit the use of peptides as therapeutics.(a) Insulin is a peptide therapeutic used to manage Type 1 diabetes, whichaffects more than 20 million people worldwide according to the International Diabetes Federation. A significant limitation to the broad distribution and use of insulin to treat Type 1 diabetes is the fact that it must be administered by injection rather than orally. Why is insulin administered by injection and not orally?(b) Many of the D-amino acids found in nature have been discovered inbacterially produced peptides that have antibiotic properties. Bacteriasecrete these peptides into their environments to kill competitor bacteriaand thereby gain a selective advantage. Given your answer to part (a) ofthis question, what potential…
