  2. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

    A study that did not prevent respiratory uptake found that applying 200 mL of hand disinfectant containing 95% w/w ethanol (150 g ethanol total) over the course of 80 minutes in a 3-minutes-on 5-minutes-off pattern resulted in the median BAC among volunteers peaking 30 minutes after the last application at 17.5 mg/L (0.00175%).

    d -Glucose + 2 [NAD] + + 2 [ADP] + 2 [P] i 2 × Pyruvate 2 × + 2 [NADH] + 2 H + + 2 [ATP] + 2 H 2 O Glycolysis pathway overview The use of symbols in this equation makes it appear unbalanced with respect to oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, and charges. Atom balance is maintained by the two phosphate (P i) groups: Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion, dissociating to contribute ...

  4. Insulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin

    Evidence of impaired first-phase insulin release can be seen in the glucose tolerance test, demonstrated by a substantially elevated blood glucose level at 30 minutes after the ingestion of a glucose load (75 or 100 g of glucose), followed by a slow drop over the next 100 minutes, to remain above 120 mg/100 mL after two hours after the start of ...

  5. Diabetic hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_hypoglycemia

    It can raise the glucose by 30–100 mg/dL within minutes in any form of hypoglycemia caused by insulin excess (including all types of diabetic hypoglycemia). It comes in a glucagon emergency rescue kit which includes tiny vials containing 1 mg, which is a standard adult dose. The glucagon in the vial is a lyophilized pellet, which must be ...

  6. Insulin (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_(medication)

    One international unit of insulin (1 IU) is defined as the "biological equivalent" of 34.7 μg pure crystalline insulin. [citation needed] The first definition of a unit of insulin was the amount required to induce hypoglycemia in a rabbit. This was set by James Collip at the University of Toronto in 1922. Of course, this was dependent on the ...

  7. Glucose tolerance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test

    [12] [16] If after 1 hour the blood glucose level is more than 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL), [12] it is followed by a 100 g glucose dose. [12] The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is then defined by a blood glucose level meeting or exceeding the cutoff values on at least two intervals, [ 12 ] with cutoffs as follows: [ 12 ]

  8. Homeostatic model assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment

    IR is insulin resistance and %β is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL. [7] Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. [2] This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). [2]

  9. Carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

    In the liver, muscles, and the kidney, this process occurs to provide glucose when necessary. [12] A single glucose molecule is cleaved from a branch of glycogen, and is transformed into glucose-1-phosphate during this process. [1] This molecule can then be converted to glucose-6-phosphate, an intermediate in the glycolysis pathway. [1]
