Which of the following statements
concerning insulin is NOT true?
O a. Insulin can increase glycogen synthesis.
O b.
C.
O d.
e.
It is secreted by the beta cell of pancreas.
The presence of insulin can increase glucose
uptake.
Glucose in blood can up-regulate its secretion.
Insulin can increase gluconeogenesis.
People with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus are generally not ketosis prone. This is thought to be a result of:
the lack of increase in glucagons in the se individuals
the presence of insulin in the individuals
their obesity
the fact that, their blood glucose levels do not tend to rise significantly
Metabolic actions of insulin include all of the following except:
increased glycogenesis
decreased gluconeogenesis
increased basal metabolic rate
increased skeletal muscle amino acid up-take
all of the above are metabolic actions of insulin
Patients with either Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes may experience problems if their blood sugar becomes extremely high. This condition is called hyperglycemia. The table below depicts different treatment options to prevent hyperglycemia for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and the rationale behind the treatment. Select the row that correctly identifies the treatment for each form of diabetes and explains why the treatment is effective.
Select one:
a.
Type 1 Treatment
Type 2 Treatment
Reason
Lifestyle change - eating better and increasing exercise
Insulin monitoring and periodic insulin shot
Type 1 can be controlled by managing lifestyle choices, whereas Type 2 is caused by decreased functioning of beta cells and therefore less insulin is produced.
b.
Type 1 Treatment
Type 2 Treatment
Reason
Beta cell replacement surgery
Alpha cell replacement surgery
Type 1 involves the reduction of beta cells in the body, whereas Type 2 is caused by decreased functioning of alpha…

- Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.arrow_forwardFigure 37.14 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have? Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate, and fatigue. Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.arrow_forwardA number of hormones in the body are responsible for controlling blood glucose levels. Some examples include insulin, glucagon, adrenaline, and cortisol.Select the FOUR numbers below that correctly show the pathway for insulin. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels are low. Insulin is released from the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is released from the alpha cells of the pancreas. Insulin makes cells more permeable to glucose. Insulin makes cells less permeable to glucose. Glycogen is taken up and converted to glucose. Glucose is taken up and converted to glycogen.arrow_forward

- Why would a cause of hyperinsulinism be hypoglycemia? Don’t lower levels of blood glucose inhibit of insulin rather than produce large amounts of it to result in hyperinsulinism?arrow_forwardChronic stress or GC exposure can cause insulin resistance. The influence of GC on insulin is complex, but leads to hyperinsulinemia (high circulating insulin levels) and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is typically caused by a decreased number of insulin receptors on the cell surface. Speculate on a mechanism resulting in a decreased number of insulin receptors.arrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly orders the steps of insulin secretion from the pancreas: Increased glucose passes into beta cells > Depolarziation opens calcium channels > ATP Levels increase > Potassium channels close due to ATP > insulin secretion ATP levels increase > Potassium channels close due to ATP > Increased glucose passes into beta cells > Depolarization opens calcium channels > insulin secretion Depolarization opens calcium channels > Increased glucose passes into beta cells > ATP levels increase > Potassium channels close due to ATP > insulin secretion Increased glucose passes into beta cells > ATP levels increase > Potassium channels close due to increased ATP > Depolarization opens calcium channels > insulin secretionarrow_forward
