White blood cells help against invading bodies, as they pretty much absorb them /^ easiest way to explain it, so not them.
I think it's vitamins as you take them as supplements if you're lacking them, say if you had scurvy or something.
Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for.

diamong [38]

Options:

A prostaglandin

B protein hormone

C. peptide hormone

D. steroid hormone

Answer:

Amylin is peptidal harmone. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is hormone?</h3>

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body. They make their way through your bloodstream to tissues and organs. They have a long-term effect on a variety of processes, including growth and development.

Amylin is a peptide hormone produced in tandem with insulin by the pancreatic -cell and is hence lacking in diabetics. It works as a satiety agent by inhibiting glucagon secretion and delaying stomach emptying. As a result, amylin replacement could potentially improve glycemic control in some diabetics.

Amylin is a 37-amino-acid peptide hormone released by pancreatic beta-cells in response to a food stimulation together with insulin. It is inadequate in Type 1 diabetes patients and increased in Type 2 diabetes patients in the early stages, a disease marked by hyperinsulinemia.

olya-2409 [2.1K]
Given that an average human has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute and if one is to have a 70 year life span, the number of times it will beat is 2,575,440,000 times. This was computed by multiply 70 years by 365 days/year x 24 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour x 70 beats/min. Thus, the heart will beat numerous times before it finally stops.
