Pankreasta bulunan langerhans adacıklarından salgılanan vücuda giren şekerin kullanımında çok önemli rolü olan hormon
English - English
A polypeptide hormone that regulates carbohydrate metabolism
A hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans and regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, especially the conversion of glucose to glycogen
n Hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood
hormone secreted by the isles of Langerhans in the pancreas; regulates storage of glycogen in the liver and accelerates oxidation of sugar in cells
A hormone, produced by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas, that regulates the metabolism of glucose and other nutrients
The hormone secreted by the pancreas See also hormone
A hormone involved in the storage of glucose (sugar) in tissues Insulin helps regulate glucose concentration in the blood
A hormone produced by the pancreas that is instrumental in transporting glucose (a type of sugar) effectively from the bloodstream See also: Diabetes
Insulin is a hormone made by a gland near your stomach called the pancreas Your body uses insulin to carry the sugar from the foods you eat through your bloodstream to your cells
A hormone that helps the body use glucose (sugar) for energy
A hormone that helps the body use sugar for energy The beta cells of the pancreas (in areas called the islets of Langerhans) make the insulin When the body can’t make enough insulin on its own, a person with diabetes must inject insulin
a hormone released by the pancreas in response to increased levels of sugar in the blood
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas It promotes glucose utilization, protein synthesis, and the formation and storage of lipids Its chemical structure is completely known and insulin obtained from various animals is used in the treatment of diabetes
a hormone produced by the pancreas essential for bodily use of sugars
A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps the body metabolize sugar
the hormone, secreted by the pancreas, concerned with the metabolism of sugar in the body
hormone manufactured by the pancreas, which helps glucose leave the blood and enter the muscles and other tissues of the body
A hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas Insulin is necessary for glucose to enter cells Insulin is responsible for lowering blood glucose
an endochrine hormone produced in the spleen which controls the amount of sugar in the blood by a) transporting it into cells and promoting glycolysis b) converting it into glycogen for storage in the liver and muscles, and c) converting it into fats Without sufficient insulin, glucose accumulates in the blood and urine and the cells of the body are starved, a condition known as diabetes The control of insulin production is another example of a feedback system
A hormone secreted from beta cells in the pancreas, which assists with the conversion of glucose into energy
a hormone secreted by the pancreas essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates and used in the treatment and control of diabetes
A hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps regulate carbohydrate metabolism
A hormone secreted by the beta cells in the pancreas that controls the metabolism and cellular update of sugars, proteins and fats As a drug it is used principally to control Type-2 diabetes
{i} hormone which regulates the body's absorption of glucose and other nutrients; substance used as a treatment for diabetes (Pharmacology)
a hormone that helps the body use glucose for energy The beta cells of the pancreas make insulin When the body cannot make enough insulin, insulin is taken by injection or through use of an insulin pump
Insulin is a substance that most people produce naturally in their body and which controls the level of sugar in their blood. In diabetes the body produces insufficient insulin. a substance produced naturally by your body which allows sugar to be used for energy (insula ( INSULAR); because insulin is made by body organs called the "islets of Langerhans"). Polypeptide hormone (see peptide) that regulates blood glucose levels. Secreted by the islets of Langerhans (see Langerhans, islets of) in the pancreas when blood glucose rises, as after a meal, it helps transfer the glucose into the body's cells to be oxidized (see oxidation-reduction) for energy or converted and stored as fatty acids or glycogen. When blood glucose falls, insulin secretion stops and the liver releases more glucose into the blood. Insulin has various related functions in the liver, muscles, and other tissues, controlling the balance of glucose with related compounds. Insulin-related disorders include diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia. Frederick Banting and J.J.R. Macleod won a Nobel Prize in 1923 for discovering insulin, and Frederick Sanger won one in 1958 for determining its amino acid sequence
A protein hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas that signals the fed state It is secreted in response to elevated blood levels of glucose
A protein pancreatic hormone that is essential especially for the metabolism of carbohydrates and is used in the treatment and control of diabetes mellitus
A peptide hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas that regulates the level of sugar in the blood

insulin pump
A portable device for people with diabetes that injects insulin at programmed intervals in order to regulate blood sugar levels
insulin resistance
n State in which the body does not respond to the action of insulin hormone although enough insulin is produced This occurs often in people with type 2 diabetes It may happen because the person is overweight and has too many fat cells, which do not respond well to insulin Also, as people age, their body cells lose some of the ability to respond to the hormone Insulin resistance is also linked to high blood pressure and high levels of fat in the blood People with insulin resistance may have to take very high doses of insulin to bring their blood sugar down or take an insulin-sensitizing agent
insulin resistance
When the amount of insulin needed to maintain glucose (sugar) levels is greater than usual
insulin resistance
When insulin is blocked from doing its job It can be caused by excess hormones made by the placenta It's also linked to being overweight
insulin resistance
reduced sensitivity to the actions of insulin in the whole body or individual tissues such as skeletal muscle, myocardium, fat and liver prevail in many individuals with or without diabetes mellitus
insulin resistance
A defect present in the majority of individuals with impaired glucose tolerance and essentially in all patients with Type 2 diabetes and is an impairment of insulin action
insulin resistance
the body's inability to respond to and use the insulin it produces Insulin resistance may be linked to obesity, hypertension, and high levels of fat in the blood
insulin resistance
diminished responsiveness to insulin
insulin resistance
Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas Insulin is necessary to allow for glucose ("sugar") to enter into the body's cells (particularly the muscle and fat cells) from the blood stream In Type 2 diabetes, insulin levels are often quite decent, but the insulin simply does not work well The body is resistant to the action of the insulin And if the sugar cannot get into the tissues then it hangs around the blood and hence, blood glucose levels are elevated Insulin resistance can be improved upon by a variety of measures, most important of which is following appropriate lifestyle measures More information Both of these links also discuss Syndrome X A PowerPoint presentation on insulin resistance I gave in June, 2002 was geared toward family doctors, but may be of interest to non-physicians (though at times will not make much sense without my voice-over to explain the slides)
insulin resistance
Many people with noninsulin-dependent diabetes produce enough insulin, but their bodies do not respond to the action of insulin This may happen because the person is overweight and has too many fat cells, which do not respond well to insulin Also, as people age, their body cells lose some of the ability to respond to insulin Insulin resistance is also linked to high blood pressure and high levels of fat in the blood Another kind of insulin resistance may happen in some people who take insulin injections They may have to take very high doses of insulin every day to bring their blood sugar down to the normal range
insulin shock

insulin shock
the administration of sufficient insulin to induce convulsions and coma hypoglycemia produced by excessive insulin in the system causing coma
insulin shock
the administration of sufficient insulin to induce convulsions and coma
insulin shock
Acute hypoglycemia usually resulting from an overdose of insulin and characterized by sweating, trembling, dizziness, and, if left untreated, convulsions and coma
insulin-dependent diabetes
type I diabetes mellitus, chronic condition in which the beta cells of the pancreatic islets produce little or no insulin and those affected must regularly inject themselves with insulin to control blood sugar (Medicine)
