Endocrine System Lab Insights

The document is a lab report summarizing the results of an experiment measuring plasma glucose levels in patient samples using a glucose standard curve and spectrophotometry. It includes the student's predictions, experimental data, and scores on pre-lab and post-lab quizzes. The data shows some patients had glucose levels in the diabetic range while others were normal or borderline impaired. The report does not provide full diagnoses or lifestyle recommendations for the patients.

Post-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 6 out of 6 questions correctly.

1. A male patient has had successive fasting plasma glucose readings of 115, 110, and 122 mg/dl. The healthcare provider
will inform him that
You correctly answered: c. he appears to have impairment or borderline impairment 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 as the glucose concentration in the sample
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 finger.

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?
You did not answer this question.

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:
Berdasarkan American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2011, pasien yang termasuk dalam rentang iabetes adalah pasien 3
dan pasien 4
