- The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forwardAn elderly gentleman has recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He admits to being a heavy drinker. This man is your patient. Given the damage to his liver, you would have concerns about all of the following except a. regulating his ability to maintain body temperature, because of decreased thyroid hormone levels. b. internal bleeding, because he has impaired ability to synthesize clotting proteins. c. edema, because of impaired synthesis of plasma proteins (e.g., albumin). d. jaundice, because his liver is less efficient at removing bilirubin from the blood.arrow_forwardNeuropathy is a potential complication of diabetes.
