Molecular DJ - Insulin
The insulin amino acid sequence converted to music. Insulin is a protein hormone that controls our blood sugar levels. After eating a meal, sugar in the blood stimulates cells in the pancreas to release insulin. The insulin causes excess glucose to be converted to a storage molecule called glycogen, both in our liver and muscles. Once the glycogen store is full, glucose can also be converted to fatty acids. Another hormone, glucagon, has the opposite role of insulin, and causes a release of stored glucose when blood sugar levels are low. A lack of insulin can cause diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, the cells that make insulin are destroyed, so the body cannot make enough of the hormone. The condition is treated by regular injections of insulin. The most common form of diabetes is Type 2, which results from cells becoming insensitive to insulin. The onset of this disease is often associated with obesity. In addition to increasing your risk of Type 2 diabetes, obesity can also increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, and colon cancer. Type 2 diabetes can be avoided by eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise. According to a report from the BBC (270808), nearly a quarter of all adults in the UK are obese and the rates are rising.From:MolecularDeeJayViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:34More inScience Technology
