develop type 2 diabetes - Answer✔️✔️-False

Adipose tissue stores lipid, but also has an endocrine function in
the release of cytokines and other types of chemical messengers
(hormones, etc). - Answer✔️✔️-True

The microvascular complications (e.g. retinopathy) of the Metabolic
Syndrome start developing during the phase of compensatory
hyperinsulinemia. - Answer✔️✔️-False

When it comes to essential hypertension in Metabolic Syndrome, it
is suggested that ___ and ___ may be responsible for the
development of this core component by increasing central
sympathetic outflow, causing peripheral vasoconstriction, and
more. - Answer✔️✔️-Insulin resistance ; hyperinsulinemia

From the list below, identify the false statements about the role of
hypothalamus in glucoregulation.

A. Specific neurons in the hypothalamus can detect changes in
glucose and insulin.

B. Because they cannot cross the BBB, adipokines cannot act of the
hypothalamus to modulate peripheral glucoregulation.

C. The hypothalamus can act to modulate neural output to the
periphery via the sympathetic nervous system. - Answer✔️✔️-B is
false.

From the list below, identify the correct statements about oxidative
stress.

A. It is characterized by excess ROS production

B. It is associated with cell damage and impaired cell signaling.

C. It can be cause by long-term elevations in blood glucose. -
Answer✔️✔️-All three correct

From the list below identify the correct statements about the liver
and glucose homeostasis.

A. It modulates gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in response to
insulin and glucagon.

B. It breaks down stored glycogen to glucose in a process called
gluconeogenesis.

C. It produces glucose de novo from various substrates in a process
known as glycogenolysis.

D. It is the first organ to process nutrients fro the intestines via the
hepatic-portal circulation.

E. It stores glucose in the form of glycogen. - Answer✔️✔️-A, D, E are
correct

The magnitude of ultimate intracellular response initiated by ligand
binding to plasma membrane receptors is linearly related to the
number of receptors bound by the ligand. - Answer✔️✔️-False

Activation of nuclear receptors induces changed in cellular function
through the production of 2nd messengers. - Answer✔️✔️-False

Select the following statements about the G-protein coupled
receptors (GPCRs) that are true.

A. Activation of the alpha subunit of the G-protein occurs when
GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP

B. The beta and gamma subunits of G-proteins interact with
adenylate cyclases in order to produce cAMP

C. cAMP (produced after Galphas-protein activation) acts as a 2nd
messenger within the cell

D. Activation of the PLC (by Gq-protein activation) results in the
production of IP3 and DAG, which have effects on Ca2+ levels and
PKC activity, respectively. - Answer✔️✔️-C and D are correct

Where is the GLUT-2 glucose transport isoform highly expressed? -
Answer✔️✔️-Liver and intestine

Which one of the following statements is NOT true of skeletal
muscle glucose uptake and its underlying mechanisms.

A. Nitric oxide can be stimulated to diffuse to the smooth muscle
cells and cause relaxation and vasodilation.

B. Insulin action on the vascular endothelium of capillaries
perfusing skeletal muscle includes decreasing the number of
capillary contacts on the skeletal muscle.

C. Nitric oxide promotes the delivery of glucose and causes
leakiness in the endothelium of the capillaries in contact with the
muscle.

D. Insulin can act on the endothelial cells in the capillary bed of the
skeletal muscle tissue to activate nitric oxide synthase (eNOS),
leading the nitric oxide production. - Answer✔️✔️-B and C are correct

Insulin can act on the endothelial cells in the arterioles supplying
blood to the skeletal muscle tissue to activate nitric oxide synthase
(eNOS), leading to nitric oxide production. - Answer✔️✔️-True

Impairments in both delivery of glucose to the skeletal muscle cell
and the transport of glucose into the cell in response to insulin
action contribute to insulin resistance - Answer✔️✔️-True

Only IRS-1 will be affected by the up-regulation of PKC theta by free
fatty acids (FFAs) - Answer✔️✔️-False
