What is the effect of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) flux? A. T2D results in high basal levels of insulin, which leads to an increase PPP flux B. T2D has no effect on the PPP C. T2D prevents an increase in PPP flux in response to elevated levels of blood glucose D. T2D facilitates an increase in PPP flux in response to elevated levels of blood glucose.

Diabetes results when either insulin cannot be produced or does not function properly. Consequently, diabetes can produce complications such as blindness, heart disease, and kidney disease. To help manage diabetes, a patient can get insulin injections. How do insulin injections promote a negative feedback loop to help maintain blood glucose production? a. Insulin injections allow transport and storage of glucose to increase blood glucose levels after consuming a large or high-glucose meal. b. Insulin injections allow only storage of glucose to decrease blood glucose levels after consuming a large or high-glucose meal. c. Insulin injections allow transport and storage of glucose to increase blood glucose levels before consuming a meal. d. Insulin injections allow transport and storage of glucose to decrease blood glucose levels after consuming a large or high-glucose meal.
5) Blood sugar is regulated by two pancreatic hormones—insulin and glucagon. When blood sugar rises, insulin is released; it binds to receptors and, through signal transduction, results in an increase in glucose uptake by cells, which effectively lowers blood glucose levels. When blood sugar decreases, glucagon is released, binds to cell receptors, and causes glucose to be released into circulation, thereby increasing blood glucose levels. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that results from excessively high levels of blood glucose. Type II diabetics have normal to elevated levels of insulin. What, then, might be causing their elevated blood glucose levels? A) inadequate insulin production B) defective receptors C) defective second messenger D) overproduction of glucagon

The difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is that a. for type 2 diabetes, insulin is produced but not used; type 1 results from lack of insulin production. b. treatment for type 2 involves insulin injections, whereas type 1 can be controlled, usually by diet. c. only type 1 can result in complications such as kidney disease, reduced circulation, or stroke. d. type 1 can be a result of lifestyle, and type 2 is thought to be caused by a virus or other agent.
