of the molecules are protected from the water, while the hydrophilic ends are exposed to the water. This arrangement gives rise tolipidbilayers, or two layers ofphospholipidmolecules, which form the membranes of cells and organelles. In another example, DNA, which is a very long molecule—in ...
Examples Short Acting Insulins (e.g. Humalog, Novolog, Regular, Apidra) NPH Insulin Pre-Mixed Insulins (e.g. Humulin or Novolog mix 70/30 or 75/25) Long Acting Insulins Insulin glargine (e.g. Lantus, Toujeo*, Basaglar) Insulin detemir (e.g. Levemir) Insuli...
Governments commonly impose controls ondrug prices. This is especially true for life-saving and specialty medications like insulin. Drug companies often come under pressure for setting prices too high. Their rationale is normally patent protection and to cover the expensive costs ofresearch and developm...
Natural insulin 4. Which route of bolus administration is done via injecting the drug through a vein? Intravenous (IV) bolus Intramuscular (IM) bolus Subcutaneous (SC) bolus 5. What is the significance of bolus injections in emergency situations? They provide long-term pain relief. They...
Thus, when the glucose level is high in the blood circulation (e.g. when consuming a carbohydrate-rich food), the beta cells of the pancreas secrete insulin and inhibit the alpha cells from secreting glucagon. But when glucose level drops (e.g. during an energy-demanding workout), the al...
One dalton is the molecular mass of one hydrogen atom. The molecular weight of a protein is equal to the addition of the molecular weights of the amino acids constituting the protein. Some proteins are of relatively small molecular size, such as insulin, with a molecular weight of about 5,...
Your body itself is a huge chemical factory wherein one or the other chemical reaction takes place every moment. Most people detest chemistry because of long reactions and difficult chemical names that we see in our books. However, taking a practical approach to understanding this science, that ...
With or without equilibrium, an object can remain in uniform motion as long as there are no external forces acting on the object. Equilibrium vs. Equal or Equality How about equilibrium and equal or equality? Are they the same? No. These concepts have different contexts and meanings. While...
