Question
Chapter 49, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To draw: A diagram illustrating the regulation of blood glucose concentration.
Introduction: The endocrine system is the chemical signaling system that uses blood vessels as information channels. The endocrine glands are ductless organs located within the organ systems and contain groups of endocrine cells that secrete their hormones directly into their surroundings.

c. A carrier protein moves Na* into cells and glucose out of cells.
d. The concentration of glucose can be greater inside cells than
outside cells.

B.
5. In peripheral insulin resistance (a characteristic metabolic abnormality is pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes), peripheral tissue cells, including liver, muscles and adipose, become resistant to insulin (cells respond less to insulin, and insulin action is decreased).
A. Explain how the metabolism of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids will be altered in liver, muscles and adipose tissues after ingesting a typical meal consisting of carbohydrates, fats and protein (during the absorptive or fed state) in patients with insulin resistance (explain how the major metabolic pathways of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids during the absorptive state will be impaired in liver, muscles, and adipose in insulin resistance disorder).
B. How will the plasma glucose levels change during the absorptive (fed) state in insulin resistance?
Discuss the mechanisms that cells employ to create a concentration gradient to ensure continual uptake of glucose from the bloodstream.
