If a patient is hypoglycemic, which of the following physiological processes will occur in an attempt to correct this situation?  A). ACTH will be released by the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal gland, B).glucocorticoid will be released by the adrenal cortex and increase serum glucose levels, C). mineralcorticoids will be released by the adrenal cortex and potentiate catecholamine effects, D). epinephrine will be secreted by the adrenal cortex in an attempt to increase blood serum glucose levels.

2. A) Differentiate, in terms of etiology, between primary versus secondary hormone disorders. B) Name three reasons why target cells apparently fail to respond to hormones.

Name and describe the function of 3 hormones released from the anterior pituitary.

Which of the following best describes the role of the hexosamine pathway in the pathogenesis of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus? Question 79 options: a)  It involves irreversible binding of glucose to proteins, lipids and nucleic acids which damages components of the microcirculation leading to retinopathy, etc. b)  It promotes the O-linked glycosylation of proteins and transcription factors, resulting in altered gene expression contributing to insulin resistance & cardiovascular complications c)  It promotes the synthesis of DAG which increases pro-inflammatory gene expression and endothelial ET-1 production resulting in blood flow abnormalities d)  It leads to intracellular accumulation of osmotically active sorbitol and fructose which damages Schwann cells, erythrocytes and the lens of the eye
