Pancreatic β cells express a receptor for fatty acids. Fatty acid binding to the protein appears to stimulate insulin secretion. Does this phenomenon make metabolic sense?
Many diabetics do not respond to insulin because of a deficiency of insulin receptors on their cells. How does this aff ect (a) the levels of circulating glucose immediately after a meal and (b) the rate of glycogen synthesis in muscle?
Why would a cause of hyperinsulinism be hypoglycemia? Don’t lower levels of blood glucose inhibit of insulin rather than produce large amounts of it to result in hyperinsulinism?

- Why is it physiologically advantageous for the pancreas to use GLUT2, with a high Ky glucose entry into ß cells? M, as the transporter that allows GLUT2 is a low-affinity glucose transporter; therefore, insulin is only released in response to elevated circulating glucose levels. GLUT2 is a low-affinity glucose transporter; therefore, glucagon is only released in response to elevated circulating glucose levels. GLUT2 is a high-affinity glucose transporter; therefore, glucagon is released continuously in response to the constant rate of glucose uptake. GLUT2 is a high-affinity glucose transporter; therefore, insulin is released continuously in response to the constant rate of glucose uptake.arrow_forwardWhat aspect of β cell function ultimately fails as a result of overnutrition, causing the transition from insulin resistance to fullfledged type 2 diabetes?arrow_forwardWhich might be a physiological phenotype associated with loss of function of GLUT1? inability of glucose to enter the intestinal cells from the intestinal lumen and high glucose excreted accumulation of glucose in the intestinal epithelial cytoplasm loss of glucose transport into somatic tissues (such as neurons in the brain) low glucose levels in the bloodstreamarrow_forward
