Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question: To measure the amount of plasma glucose in a patient
sample
Your answer : a. the glucose concentration of the sample will be measured
and the optical density will be extrapolated from
the glucose standard curve.

Stop & Think Questions:

Why does the color in the tubes vary?
You correctly answered: c. The tubes contain different amounts of glucose.

Experiment Data:

of insulin-mediated glucose uptake by
his cells.
2. To obtain an accurate spectrophotometric measurement of the glucose
concentration in the sample
You correctly answered: d. heparin is added to prevent blood clots.
3. In the spectrophotometric assay used in this experiment, the

increases.
You correctly answered: b. optical density increases
4. A female patient has had successive fasting plasma glucose readings of
130, 140, and 128 mg/dl. The healthcare
provider will inform her that
You correctly answered: a. she has developed diabetes.
5. To maintain plasma glucose homeostasis
You correctly answered: d. insulin-mediated transport of glucose into
cells acts as negative feedback when plasma glucose
levels rise.
6. A laboratory technician withdraws a blood sample from a vein in your
upper arm knowing that
You correctly answered: b. the plasma glucose concentration will be
the same in both the arm vein and the index nger.

Review Sheet Results

1. What is a glucose standard curve, and why did you need to obtain one
for this experiment? Did you correctly predict
how you would measure the amount of plasma glucose in a patient
sample using the glucose standard curve?
Your answer:
The glucose standard curve is a method of monitoring blood glucose
over a period to identify patterns and peaks in glucose
levels?
The prediction is a wrong depiction of how the curve works, the optical

the glucose
concentration is extrapolated using the curve?
2. Which patient(s) had glucose reading(s) in the diabetic range? Can you
say with certainty whether each of these
patients has type 1 or type 2 diabetes? Why or why not?
Your answer:
Patients 3 and 5 appear to have diabetes based on the glucose standard
curve?
I cannot say with certainty is the patients have a speci c type of
diabetes, because? type 1 and type 2 diabetes are different
responses by the human body?
In both cases, glucose remains in the blood stream and the body's cells
are unable to take it up, meaning it is not ltered out
of the body uids?
3. Describe the diagnosis for patient 3, who was also pregnant at the time
of this assay.
Your answer:
Patient 3 appears to have diabetes based on the glucose standard
curve? measurements, but with the news that this patient
is pregnant it is possible that she doesn't have diabetes. The blood
sugar is higher than normal during pregnancy due to
hormonal changes, as nutrients are being supplied to the placenta.
During the course of a pregnancy, the sugar levels rise
and the body makes more insulin to get the sugar levels into the cells?
4. Which patient(s) had normal glucose reading(s)?
Your answer:
rst patient had normal glucose reading
5. What are some lifestyle choices these patients with normal plasma
glucose readings might recommend to the borderline
impaired patients?
Your answer:
Some lifestyle changes include dieting and exercises?
Speci c to dieting, eating foods with lower sugar intake. Also exercise
because it? promotes the breakdown of nutrients,
