93. In an experiment to determine the effect of the route of administration of glucose on insulin secretion, a healthy 25-year-old man is given oral glucose and an equivalent dose of intravenous glucose on different days. Serum studies show that the insulin concentrations are greater after oral glucose than after intravenous glucose. In comparison with intravenous glucose, oral glucose augments insulin secretion by which of the following actions? A) Decreases secretion of glucagon B) Decreases secretion of somatostatin C) Increases secretion of acetylcholine D) Increases secretion of epinephrine E) Increases secretion of gastrointestinal hormones

Questions 1-6 refer to the following information: A study followed 900,000 US adults from 1992 to 2008. At baseline, all participants were screened and determined to be cancer free and their body mass index (BMI) was calculated.
