Question

5. In peripheral insulin resistance (a characteristic metabolic abnormality is pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes), peripheral tissue cells, including liver, muscles and adipose, become resistant to insulin (cells respond less to insulin, and insulin action is decreased).

A. Explain how the metabolism of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids will be altered in liver, muscles and adipose tissues after ingesting a typical meal consisting of carbohydrates, fats and protein (during the absorptive or fed state) in patients with insulin resistance (explain how the major metabolic pathways of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids during the absorptive state will be impaired in liver, muscles, and adipose in insulin resistance disorder).

B. How will the plasma glucose levels change during the absorptive (fed) state in insulin resistance?
