Summary Introduction
To review: the blood FFA levels in the groups provided and the overall effects of feeding the glucose on the
Given:
The graph below shows the data of glucose and placebo levels in the blood with respect to the exercise time:
The blood FFA levels on the placebo and glucose solution are shown below:
Introduction:
Free fatty acids are basically the prime fat fuel present in the body and when these get increased in the blood then they are known to increase the risk of heart problems and it may be by causing the insulin resistance and increasing the pressure of the blood.

- Insulin and diet A study published in the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association examined people to see if they showed any signs of IRS (insulin resistance syn-drome) involving major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Among 102 subjects who consumeddairy products more than 35 times per week, 24 wereidentified with IRS. In comparison, IRS was identified in85 of 190 individuals with the lowest dairy consumption,fewer than 10 times per week.a) Is this strong evidence that IRS risk is different inpeople who frequently consume dairy products thanin those who do not?b) Does this indicate that diary consumption influencesthe development of IRS?
