Question
Chapter 41.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The effect of insulinomas on blood glucose levels and liver functions.
Introduction:
Insulinomas are cancerous insulin-producing beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans. These tumors lack response to feedback mechanisms and secret insulin even when there is a low blood glucose level in the body.

82. Regulation of cellular metabolism by insulin requires activation of the insulin-receptor substrate protein-1 (IRS1). Some individuals who have type 2 diabetes mellitus have mutations in the
IRS1 gene. Which of the following normal steps in insulin signaling is most likely to be impaired by these mutations?
A) Cleavage of IRS1 by the insulin receptor
B) Phosphorylation of IRS1 by the insulin receptor
C) Production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by IRS1
D) Stimulation of a G protein by IRS1
E) Synthesis of diacylglycerol by IRS1
&&$)(;:
. What would be the effect of a mutation in the gene for PTP1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B) that inactivated the enzyme in a person who has type 2 diabetes?

(select all that apply) Group of answer choices The first step of glycolysis (producing glucose 6-phosphate) is more efficient in pancreatic β cells than in muscle glucose transporters in pancreatic β cells have a higher affinity for glucose than the transporters in other tissues Increased production of ATP is used as a signal that blood glucose is high Insulin is released when blood glucose levels are high Increases in ATP open a K+ channel Influx of Ca2+ stimulates insulin releasearrow_forwardGiven insulin's structure, where is its target likely located? Insulin's adverse side effects include headache, nau- sea, hunger, confusion and weakness. What can these symptoms be attributed to? Insulin has major effects on muscle and adipose tissue. It increases the rate of glucose transport across the cell membrane, decreases the rate of lipolysis, and increases uptake of triglycerides and some amino acids from the blood. In doing so, what metabolic processes does it favor? Carbohydrates: Lipids: Proteins:arrow_forward
