- Insulin and diet A study published in the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association examined people to see if they showed any signs of IRS (insulin resistance syn-drome) involving major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Among 102 subjects who consumeddairy products more than 35 times per week, 24 wereidentified with IRS. In comparison, IRS was identified in85 of 190 individuals with the lowest dairy consumption,fewer than 10 times per week.a) Is this strong evidence that IRS risk is different inpeople who frequently consume dairy products thanin those who do not?b) Does this indicate that diary consumption influencesthe development of IRS? Explain.If 85% of diabetic patients are correctly identified by a urine test for glucose, but 25% of non-diabetic patients are false-positives by this test, then the urine test for glucose has: a sensitivity of 85%, and a specificity of 75% a sensitivity of 25%, and a specificity of 85% a sensitivity of 75%, and a specificity of 85% a sensitivity of 15%, and a specificity of 25% a sensitivity of 75%, and a specificity of 15%A series of novel phenadoxone derivatives without mu2 receptor activity (mu2 activity is responsible for physical dependence) proposed to be developed as analgesics is shown below.

Explain why insulin resistance and type II diabetes often are accompanied by elevated cholesterol levels.Despite the fact that many peptides have critical physiological functions(e.g., as hormones, neurotransmitters, antibacterial toxins), they are not considered to be ideal as drugs. The following questions illustrate some of the issues that limit the use of peptides as therapeutics.(a) Insulin is a peptide therapeutic used to manage Type 1 diabetes, whichaffects more than 20 million people worldwide according to the International Diabetes Federation. A significant limitation to the broad distribution and use of insulin to treat Type 1 diabetes is the fact that it must be administered by injection rather than orally. Why is insulin administered by injection and not orally?(b) Many of the D-amino acids found in nature have been discovered inbacterially produced peptides that have antibiotic properties. Bacteriasecrete these peptides into their environments to kill competitor bacteriaand thereby gain a selective advantage. Given your answer to part (a) ofthis question, what potential…
