Why Does The Pancreas Have More Ribosomes Then Another Part Of The Body?

Why do pancreas cells have more ribosomes then another part of the body… I know that ribosomes synthesize proteins… Why are proteins important for the pancreas ? Is it because of the production of insulin ?

Can 40 Units Of Insulin Countered By Shots Of Glucose Damage The Body And Cause Death?

designrp — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:31:36 +0000

My 80 year old mother was given 40 units of insulin instead of her usual 4 units by accident in a hospital. They countered that with glucose directly in her IV. They monitored her every hour for 12 hours. She died 4 days later from other complications that they said had nothing to do with the overdose. It just seems that 10xs the amount of insulin would do some sort of harm to the body.
