Which of the following can explain this situation? a) These mice do not make enough insulin b) these mice lack insulin receptors on their cells c)these mice lack glucagon d) these mice cannot synthesize glycogen from glucose
Answer each of the following questions in about one sentence:(a) What is the biochemical basis for the action of Viagra?(b) What is the biochemical basis for the action of Prozac?(c) Oral administration of S-adenosylmethionine has been reported to beeffective in treating depression. Suggest a possible explanation.
Von Gierke’s disease is a rare genetic disorder that results in a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase. Symptoms ketoacidosis, a buildup of glycogen in the liver, and lactate buildup. Why does this glycogen storage disease not affect the brain? a) The brain is able to still perform glycolysis effectively b) None of the above c) In the event of hypoglycemia, the brain is able to utilize other sources of energy to produce ATP d) The brain is able to metabolize lactate, which is present in high concetrations.
Write a one-sentence explanation for each of the following statements. (a) In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via cyclic AMP. Although one might expect glucagon also to stimulate catabolism of the glucose formed, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates glu- coneogenesis in liver. (b) An individual with a glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency suffers from chronic hypoglycemia. (c) The action of phosphorylase kinase simultaneously activates glycogen breakdown and inhibits glycogen synthesis. (d) The presence in liver of glucose-6-phosphatase is essential to the function of the liver in synthesizing glucose for use by other tissues.
