Leading cause of
Adult blindness
End-stage kidney disease
Nontraumatic lower limb amputations
Major contributing factor
Heart disease
Stroke
Hypertension - CORRECT ANSWER-Diabetes Mellitus
The rise in plasma insulin after a meal inhibits ___________________, enhances
fat deposition of adipose tissue, and increases protein synthesis. - CORRECT
ANSWER-gluconeogenesis
,glucagon, epinephrine, growth hormone, and cortisol - CORRECT ANSWER-
counterregulatory hormones
(hormones increase blood glucose levels by (1) stimulating glucose production and
release by the liver and (2) decreasing the movement of glucose into the cells. The
counterregulatory hormones and insulin usually maintain blood glucose levels
within the normal range by regulating the release of glucose for energy during food
intake and periods of fasting.)
True or false:
Insulin is necessary for glucose transport in
brain, liver, blood cells - CORRECT ANSWER-False!
two hormones secreted by cells in the Islet of Langerhans region to stabilize blood
sugar levels - CORRECT ANSWER-glucagon and insulin
binds to receptors in the liver, stimulating the conversion of stored glycogen into
glucose - CORRECT ANSWER-glucagon
