Bodybuilders have been known to inject insulin to increase muscle mass because it stimulates protein anabolism. What is one of the risks associated with this practice in terms of K+ levels: elevated blood plasma K+ (hyperkalemia) or decreased blood plasma K+ (hypokalemia)? Could the practice of injecting insulin to increase muscle mass be fatal?
Fatty acids appear to stimulate insulin secretion to a much greater extent when glucose is also present. Why is this significant?
Which of the following statements is true?
a) High insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in muscle
b) High insulin/glucagon ratio inhibits lipolysis in liver
c) High insulin/glucagon
d) Low insulin/glucagon
ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytes
ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytes
