Question
As part of a study, 10 mg of epinephrine was injected into the bloodstream of 10 resting, fasted adults. 10 minutes later, blood glucose levels of the subjects were measured. Here were the results: Subject Sex Age Blood Glucose (mg/dL) F=Female M=male
Subject-sex -age -Blood Glucose (mg/dL0
1) F 25 197
2)F 36 175
3) F 61 231
4) F 54 217
5) F 39 205
6) M 43 251
7) M 46 234
8) M 31 181
9) M 51 197
10) M 37 161
10. Did the individuals over 40 have a significantly different glucose level after epinephrine injection than the individuals under 40?
Explanation / Answer
Glucose levels are measured in males and females of different ages aftyer injection of epinephrine. The glucose levels are different in males and females and also difference in glucose level is clearly observed in males and females below and above 40 yeras of age. in females, the glucose levels below age 40 are
Age: 25 Glucose level -197
Age 36 Glucose level-175
Age 39 Glucose level-205
The glucose levels above 40 years are
Age 61 Glucose level- 231
Age 54 Glucose level- 217
Similarly in males, glucose levels in persons below age 40
Age 31 Glucose level- 181
Age 37 Glucose level- 161
Glucose levels in persons above age 40
Age 43 Glucose level- 251
Age 46 Glucose level- 234
Age 51 Glucose level- 197
The glucose levels in both the male and female over age 40 are high after injection of epinephrine. But the significant difference depends on initial values, genetics and dietary habits and other underlying health conditions of individual. From the given data, it can be concluded that there is significant difference in glucose values after epinephrine injection in both males and females below and above age 40.
