Per the hypothesis, it was expected that the fish in full concentration of insulin would have less time of hyperactivity compared to the fish in half concentration due to a lower blood glucose level. For the fish in full concentration, time of hyperactivity was 26 seconds, and the fish in half concentration had a time of hyperactivity lasting 75 seconds. The fish in full concentration also had longer periods of bottom swimming, and turned upside down. The fish in half concentration had shorter periods of bottom swimming, and did not turn upside down at all. This supported the initial hypothesis that the fish in the half concentration will have a higher blood sugar ready to use for energy. It was expected that for recovery, the fish in full concentration would need a longer period to fully recover back to normal. The results show the fish recovering from full concentration had periods of right side swimming, corkscrew, and top swimming before finally getting back to normal. The fish from half concentration had no behaviors of right…show more content…
In type 1 diabetes, the body doesn’t produce insulin, and must be injected manually. This experiment can illustrate the significance of why it is important to regulate insulin levels in diabetics. The fish in full concentration were discombobulated, confused, and became very faint just as a diabetic would experience in the case of injecting themselves with too much insulin. Type 2 diabetes will cause hyperglycemia due to the bodies inability to use insulin properly. In a recent article on the endocrineweb, a woman in Texas with type 1 diabetes received an implant of insulin-making islet cells. After a couple weeks of recovery, the woman no longer needed daily insulin shots because her body was able to produce enough insulin itself. Clinical advances are being practiced today hoping to make life just a little better for those dealing with

    Introduction With the invention of the “Robot Chemist” by Harns Baruch, automated analysers came into the biomedical arena. This has been evolved since 1959 and now has improved a lot in many aspects including the ways of inserting the samples into the analyzer. Automatic analyzer facilitates the analysis of more than one bio chemical sample at a time and also it can be programmed such that several tests can be done concurrently. This feature saves a lot of time while being accurate as well.
