Resolution of DKA is defined as general improvement in the symptoms, such as the ability to tolerate oral nutrition and fluids, normalization of blood acidity (pH>7.3), and absence of ketones in blood (<1 mmol/l) or urine.
A Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD , Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease), answered. No one is sure what causes acne, but hormones appear to play a supporting role. Hormones can trigger acne when the sebaceous (oil-making) glands in the skin ramp up, producing too much sebum that mixes with debris and bacteria and can clog pores. Acne also tends to affect people with certain hormonal conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition, acne is more common during adolescence, pregnancy, and certain times in womenâs menstrual cycle, when hormones are more likely to fluctuate.
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands. In humans and many other animals, hormones are either peptide hormones (modified amino acids, peptides, small proteins) or steroid and steroid-like hormones. The endocrine glands are ductless glands and secrete hormones directly into the blood vessels nearby. The hormones are then carried throughout the body and act upon target cells and tissues. The target cells have protein receptors which recognize the hormone and bind it. This interaction of the hormone and its specific receptor occurs either in the cell membrane (amino acid, peptide, or small protein hormone) or in the cell interior (steroid hormones).
