Step 1
Step 1: Type 1B diabetes mellitus is also known as idiopathic diabetes, and it is characterized by the absence of autoimmunity, unlike type 1A diabetes mellitus which is autoimmune in nature. Show more…

Type 1 diabetes is caused by destruction of beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Which of the following best explains why a person with this disease needs medication? a. Medication is needed to act as a signaling molecule to activate the signal transduction pathway. b. Medication is needed to allow alternate signaling transduction pathways to control glucose levels. c. Medication is needed to open channels to allow signaling molecules to enter pancreatic cells. d. Medication is needed to serve as second messengers to regulate glucose uptake by cells.

Type 1 Diabetes is a relatively simple disease: the body's immune system attacks the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production. Type 2 Diabetes is a bit more complex. Explain what happens at the molecular level when a person has Type 2 Diabetes, making it clear what the role of insulin is regarding glucose metabolism.

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that significantly impacts homeostasis. The irony of diabetes is that there is plenty of glucose in the bloodstream, but the cells can't utilize it. Explain why this occurs. Explain how cells can use fats in order to generate energy through glycolysis. Explain how the process of beta-oxidation creates ketones. What organ relies on ketones for energy? Explain why those with Type 1 Diabetes have elevated levels of both glucose and ketones. The sympathetic system has five identified receptor classes: Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3, Alpha 1, Alpha 2. The parasympathetic system primarily uses muscarinic receptors. a. Where in the body are beta 1 receptors primarily found, and what effect do they have on this tissue? b. If you want to develop a compound to cause bronchodilation, which receptor would you target, and would you develop an agonist or antagonist? c. The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are said to be antagonistic. Explain what this means, and give one example of how antagonistic control works in one body system. d. What are TWO receptors that you would target to increase blood pressure, and would you utilize agonists or antagonists?
