Figure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.
When insulin is secreted from the pancreas and acts on muscle cells to increase glucose uptake, this is an example of

Insulin facilitates the movement of intracellularglucose transporters to the cell membrane.c. Insulin stimulates the breakdown of storedglycogen into glucose.d. Insulin stimulates the kidneys to reabsorbglucose into the bloodstream
Which of the following statements about the integration of fat and carbohydrate metabolism control is correct? a. High insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in muscle b. High insulin/glucagon ratio inhibits lipogenesis in liver. c. Low insulin/glucagon ratio activates lipolysis in adipocytes. d.

Insulin stimulates which of the following pathways? a. Gluconeogenesis b. Triacylglycerol synthesis and storage c. Lipolysis and fatty acid mobilization d. Glycogen breakdown
An increase in the amount of stored lipids leads to changes in the expression of many hormones. One such hormone is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). A change in expression of this hormone can lead to a change in the free fatty acid level, which, in turn, decreases insulin sensitivity. Place the steps of this process in order.

Select one: a. glucose consumption (glycolysis and glycogen synthesis), fatty Acid and TAG synthesis b. glucose release and fatty acid synthesis c. TAG and fatty acid degradation d. gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis
