Outline

Text

Objective: Recently, body builders with objective over weight perform human and animal insulin injection. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the effects physiological insulin injection of the body builder athlete. Although insulin injection during the short time results significant and quick over weight (muscular bulk) it has a lot of problems later. Plasma glucose concentration maintenance of the determine rang is very necessary for human health. The first effect of insulin injection is hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is very dangerous, because glucose is the essential energic material for brain and lack of it like loss of oxygen results function, disorders and tissue injures, and if the lack will be long time it results to death. In fact, the brain sensitivity relates to hypoglycemia (opposite of other body tissues) can not use of circulatory free fatty acids.

Material/Methods: The purpose of this research was the study the effects of using insulin injection in body builder athletes. In this research, 12 males aged between 20–25 year voluntary participated and filled out the questionnaire. Subjects performed continuing insulin injection skin at the abdomen part (for 6 continuous month and 2 time per week). Blood sample for determination of plasma glucose were taken during rest time.

Results: The results showed hypoglycemia in subjects. Hypoglycemia causes disorder of the function of nervous system and symptoms like: dizziness, headache, and confusion, decrease accuracy, behavior disorders, convulsion and lake of sober. On the other hand, hypoglycemia results the release epinephrine rapidly that it a causes adrenergic symptoms like: profuse sweating, tachycardia, agitation, and hungry.

Conclusion: At the case study of the insulin dependent patients with injection under skin, effects appears during it became maximum during 6 hours, but insulin effects of the normal people appeared during some minutes and it became maximum during 2 hours. Rapid hypoglycemia results insulin injection and reaction of it causes obvious adrenergic symptoms. Our finding suggest that acute reactions like these, that mentioned above for body builders that perform continuing insulin injection skin at the abdomen part, may be very dangerous. Resistant to insulin and diabetes suffering are the other dangerous that the high and continuing use of insulin can have.
