Question

For the treatment of type I diabetes, two different medications were tested by medical researchers. Both drug 1 and drug 2 mimic the effects of insulin on muscle, brain, and liver cells. The serum (blood) levels of the drugs in patients through eight hours after injection is depicted in the graph.
The correct inference for the above data is:

The effects of drug 2 are longer lasting.

Solution

The correct option is E Drug 2 is highly concentrated within two hours of injection.
The role of insulin is to decrease the glucose level in blood and send it to muscle and other cells. The concentration of drug 2 is high within two hours of injection after that it decreases drastically. Whereas the concentration of drug 2 in serum increases gradually till three hours of injection and then decreases. Thus, the correct answer is 'Drug 2 is highly concentrated within two hours of injection.'
