Document Content and Description Below

35. Which one of the following could result in better outcomes for type 2 diabetics? 1. An increased rate of gluconeogenesis in the liver. 2. Lower production of insulin. 3. An increased A1C perce... ntage. 4. An increased number of GluT4 transporters in the cell membrane. 36. Emma was prescribed metformin which is used to control blood glucose levels. One direct effect of metformin is inhibition of the _________ pathway in the liver. 1. Glycolysis 2. Glycogenesis 3. Gluconeogenesis 4. Option 4 37. Emma has an A1C level of 7.0% in her blood. A1C is a form of__________________. 1. Hemoglobin 2. Insulin 3. Enzyme 4. Hormone 23. Metformin treatment is able to lower blood glucose levels by _______ gluconeogenesis in the liver cells and _________ Glut4 translocation in the muscle or fat cells. 1. decreasing, increasing 2. increasing, decreasing 3. maintaining, decreasing 4. increasing, maintaining 48. What is the product of glycogenesis? 1. glycogen 2. glucose 3. glucagon15. Billy is a 26-year-old male currently on his 12th day of a hunger strike to protest “government stuff.” How can Billy keep going long after his glycogen supply has been used up? (Note: The brain requires a constant supply of glucose to function.) 1. He uses fatty acids to create new glucose through gluconeogenesis. 2. He uses glycerol, some amino acids, and other molecules to create new glucose. 3. All amino acids can be used to create glucose through gluconeogenesis. 24. Insulin is a hormone that is secreted when blood glucose is _______. This hormone stimulates _______ in the cell. 1. high, glycogenesis 2. high, gluconeogenesis 3. low, glycogenolysis 4. low, glycogenesis 11. Hemoglobin A1c (sometimes referred to simply as A1c) is a molecule measured for a laboratory test. It is used to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes and to assess a diabetic patient’s level of disease control. How and why do advanced glycation end products (AGEs) [Show More]
