What causes pernicious anemia?

In 1889, Oscar Minkowski removed an organ from a dog. The dog subsequently developed symptoms similar to diabetes patients. What was the organ?

An IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) weighs the scientific benefit of the application versus:

Choose the two main functions of the pancreas: (Select 2 of the 4 answers)

Fred Banting grew up:

Currently, if a scientist wants to experiment on mammals, the scientist's experiment must be approved by a committee that is composed entirely of other scientists.

Fred Banting entered medical school:

Classic symptoms of diabetes include:

Blood test are only for measuring the number of red blood cells a person has.

Around 1920, the amount of glucose in blood could be measured by an electronic meter.

Charles Evan Hughes, the US Secretary of State in 1920, was diagnosed with diabetes in 1920.

During the summer of 1921, Fred Banting performed experiments on dogs. In one group of dogs, he tried to cause the dogs to develop diabetes by removing an organ. Which organ did he remove:

Fred Banting developed his idea on how to treat diabetes while he was:

In 1921, the best way to measure glucose in blood was based on:

A child who develops diabetes typically loses weight. In 1920, the best treatment for this child would be to:

The best treatment for diabetes about 1915 was known as:

In 1920 the company Eli Lilly was known for manufacturing

Arnold Beckman invented and sold one of the first integrated

James Collip, at the University of Toronto, developed a method to isolate insulin based upon

James Collip needed an assay for the activity of insulin in order to develop a purification method. His assay for insulin activity was based upon:

George Walden was the engineer at the Eli Lilly in charge of insulin production and purification. George Walden's major contribution was that:

The quantity known as pH measures:

The University of Toronto licensed a patent on the production of insulin to Eli Lilly. The agreement allowed Eli Lilly to manufacture and sell insulin. In return, Eli Lilly would give the University of Toronto

Fred Banting died in 1941 from:

Professor Dorothy Hodgkin was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964 for deciphering the structure of insulin using the technique of X-ray crystallography.

The order of amino acids in a protein produced by your body is

X-ray crystallography can be used to

This technique reveals the structure of complex molecules:

Molecular dynamics simulations show that the structure of proteins

The birth control drug Nexplanon is usually implanted under the skin of a woman's:

The Ames Reflective Meter was one of the first:

Glucose Oxidase was isolated from:

Dick Bernstein was one of the first people to :

The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial tested whether this method of treating diabetes was better than what patients had been doing:

One conclusion from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial was that tight control:

A complete lack of vitamin A in a person's diet can lead to:

The loose control approach to managing a patient's diabetes can be characterized by the following:

Patients enrolled in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial were randomly assigned to be part of the tight control group or the standard group.

An insulin molecule in circulating in your bloodstream consists of:

From the 1920s through the 1960s, insulin used by patients with diabetes came from which sources:

Engineered E. coli bacteria containing recombinant DNA is not dangerous to humans because:

In the 1960's, the annual supply of insulin was limited by:

Today, most insulin in produced in a large factory by which types of organisms:

A closed loop system for insulin delivery contains:

An insulin pen differs from an insulin pump because

The label of a prescription drug:

Afrezza and Exubera are two different insulin delivery systems. The most notable difference between the two is:

Off label prescribing is when

In the 1960's Margaret Crane was working as a :

The HbA1c test measures how much of this molecule is attached to hemoglobin.

The self-orienting millimeter scale applicator (SOMA) is a device that might allow oral delivery of insulin, or an insulin pill. The shape of the SOMA is based on the shape of which animal:

Diabetes (type 1) is caused by

The HbA1c test is named after:
