5. a man become nauseated and vomited 90 minutes after receiving a standard dose for
an oral glucose tolerance test what would be the best coarse of action?: draw blood
for glucose and discontinue the test
6. CSF for a glucose assay should be measured when?: immediately
7. A 45 year old woman with a fasting glucose of 95 mg/dL and a GTT of 105 would be
what?
Where is glycogen broken down?: It is a normal measurement and glycogen is broken
down by the liver
8. In pregnant women the symptoms of thirst, frequent urination or unex- plained
weight loss would be? What test should be performed?: Glucose toler- ance test and
it is gestational diabetes
9. conversion of glucose or other hexoses into lactate or pyruvate is called?-
: definition of glycolysis
10. glycated hemoglobin value represents the integrated values of glucose
concentration during the preceding how many weeks?: 6-8 weeks; A1C is also the best
way to monitor long term glucose control in patients with adult onset diabetes mellitus
11. what is Hemoglobin A1c structure?: it has the glucose 6 phosphate on the amino
terminal valine of the beta chain
12. what does the hydrolysis of glucose yeild?
In what form is glucose stored in muscle and liver?: Fructose and glucose: Glycogen

13. why can you not use a sodium fluoride tube for enzyme analysis?: Sodium fluoride
inhibits glycolsis so that glucose can be properly analyzed but for enzymes this fluoride
concentration will inhibit production
14. Characteristics of Diabetes mellitus.: insulin deficiency associated with au- toimmune
destruction of pancreatic B cells Ketoacidosis prone symptoms of polyuria, ketonuria,
glycosuria
15. Where is insulin synthesized and by what? what is the structural make up? what
does insulin do?: Insulin is synthesized by proinsulin by the B cells in the pancreas
structure: 2 chain polypeptide
Insulin stimulates glycogenesis in the liver
16. What are some drugs that can cause hypoglycemia?: ethanol propranolol salicylate
17. what glucose method can employ a polarographic oxygen electrode?: Glu- cose
oxidase:
Glucose is oxidized in the presence of oxygen and glucose oxidase catalyzes the reaction:
this type of electrode can assess the rate of oxygen consumption measured
18. which glucose method catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose by adeno- sine
triphosphate forming G6P and adenosine diphosphate with the ab- sorbance of the
NADPH product read at 340 nm: Hexokinase: reference method
19. what glucose test will interfere with a oral xylose absorption test?: Glucose
dehydrogenase; will be 15 % off of the actual value
20. What reagents are required for the glucose oxidase or enzymatic serum glucose
method?: Glucose oxidase Peroxidase and Reduced chromogen
21. Characteristics of Cushing syndrome associated with hyper or hypo- glycemia?: the
adrenal cortex secretes an excessive amount of the hormone cor- tisol which can
stimulate gluconeogenesis, hyperglycemia commonly occurs as a secondary disorder
