Question
Chapter 22.6, Problem 19CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The use of sitagliptin in the treatment of diabetes.
Introduction: Diabetes is categorized into two types: type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is insulin dependent diabetes. People who have diabetes have reduced the production of insulin in their body leading to a delayed response to ingested glucose. In some cases, both resistance to insulin as well as reduced secretion of insulin is seen.

Novolog differs from "normal" insulin in that:
Select one:
a. An aspartic acid has been substituted for proline at B28
b. The proline at B28 and the lysine at B29 have been reversed
c. A glycine has been substituten in at A21, and two new arginines have been added as B31 and B32
d. A "C-peptide" chain has been added
e. The usual insulin molecule has been combined with zinc isophane
Favism is a condition caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The genetics involve alleles of the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. The environmental factor may be the consumption of fava beans which contain two compounds, divicine and isouramil, which can inhibit the reduction of glutathione by NADPH. Describe how these factors relate to each other.
Given what we know about epinephrine and glucose 6-phosphate
dehydrogenase, would you predict that glucose 6-dehydrogenase is activated, inhibited, or unaffected by epinephrine induced cell signaling? Explain your prediction.

- Consider fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) when responding to Parts A, B, and C. When writing your response, please put A, B, or C in front of the answer for each part. NOTE: Each part can be answered in 3-4 sentences.A. State the effect (inhibition OR activation) of insulin signaling on the activity of FBP. Explain why this effect makes sense and make sure you identify the pathway where FBP participates.B. In a type 2 diabetic liver cell, when the blood sugar level is high, will the activity of FBP be HIGHER, LOWER, or THE SAME AS the activity in a nondiabetic liver cell under the same conditions? Explain your reasoning.C. Now think about the insulin and glucagon signaling pathways that control activity of FBP. When a nondiabetic liver cell is exposed to low blood sugar, indicate one specific way the insulin or glucagon signaling pathway could be disrupted so that the activity of FBP is not controlled correctly. Then, explain the reasoning for your answer.arrow_forwardA certain type of tumor results in the overproduction of glucagon.
