☞ Insulin is used to treat a number of diseases including diabetes and its acute complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states.
☞ It is also used along with glucose to treat high blood potassium levels.

☞HGH helps to maintain, build, and repair healthy tissue in the brain and other organs.
☞ This hormone can help to speed up healing after an injury and repair muscle tissue after exercise.
☞This medication is used to treat certain bone problems (e.g., Paget's disease, postmenopausal osteoporosis) and to reduce high blood levels of calcium.
☞Calcitonin is a man-made hormone that works by slowing bone loss and maintaining normal calcium levels in the blood.
☞Chorionic gonadotropin Blood clotting factor is used in combination with other fertility drugs to increase a woman's chance of pregnancy.
☞In men or adolescent boys, HCG helps the production of testosterone and sperm.
☞ Tissue Plasminogen activator (TPA) is used in some cases of diseases that feature blood clots, such as pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and stroke, in a medical treatment called thrombolysis.
☞The most common use is for ischemic stroke.
☞Erythropotein use is in people with anemia (low blood count) related to kidney dysfunction.
☞ When the kidneys are not properly functioning, they produce less than normal amounts of erythropoietin, which can lead to low red blood cell production, or anemia
☞Platelet-derived growth factor suppresses and fibroblast growth factor enhances cytokine-induced production of nitric oxide by cultured smooth muscle cells.
☞Effects on cell proliferation
☞This medication is used to treat various cancers .
☞It is also used to treat virus infections (e.g., chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, condylomata acuminata).
☞ This medication is the same as a protein that your body naturally produces (interferon).
☞Interleukins regulate cell growth, differentiation, and motility.
☞ They are particularly important in stimulating immune responses, such as inflammation.
☞Vaccines help protect against many diseases that used to be much more common.
