Patients have high quantities of glycogen in muscles, implying that glycogen synthesis is normal. c. Patients have no glycogen phosphorylase activity and thus no glycogen breakdown. d. Patients have high concentration of blood glucose, implying that glucose synthesis is normal.arrow_forwardUntreated diabetes leads the body to mobilize glucose stores and break down fats. If the issue is that blood glucose is too high, why does this happen? a. Intracellular stores of glucose are very low and the cells feel starved b. All of the above explain why this happens c. Most of the glucose leaves through the kidneys since glucose has exceeded Tmax d. Circulating fat stores are low, which promotes lipolysis e. A lack of insulin results in chronic sympathetic drive, using up all the blood glucosearrow_forwardThe characteristics of vitamin P include the followings except: Select one: a.

Slow oxidative (SO) or Type I fibers tissues, and are found in the bladder and stomach Red muscle fibers, can contract B. Smooth muscle for extended periods of time, and are well adapted to aerobic respiration Involuntary striated muscle that C. Cardiac muscle contains intercalated discs as a helpful tool for communication between cells. Primarily used during anaerobic D.
