Chapter 32, Problem 9WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The correlation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose corn syrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.
Concept introduction:
The carbohydrates contain long chains of monomers called monosaccharides. The action of maltase on maltose results in two molecules of glucose. The action of sucrase on sucrose results in one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.

- 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.arrow_forwardAn 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following concerning glucagon is TRUE? a. It is a hormonal protein that uptakes glucose and amino acids from blood. b. Its activity is up-regulated when blood glucose increases. c. It is a hormonal protein that up-regulates glycogenolysis. d. It decreases gluconeogenesis.arrow_forward

- A patient has a defective liver FBPase-2 enzyme, the enzyme that converts F2,6P into F6P. This enzyme is inactive. What effect would this have on the differential regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in liver cells? How would this affect a person’s ability to respond appropriately to a low blood sugar state? What about a high blood sugar state?arrow_forwardKetone bodies that build up under starvation conditions act as hunger suppressants and mentaldepressants. Does this make sense or would it make more sense for them to act as a stimulant to goout and find food? Explain.arrow_forwardFructose and glucose are both monosaccharides, but the body metabolizesthese sugars differently. For example, glucose stimulates insulin releasefrom the pancreas (see section 28.4); fructose does not. Moreover, insulinstimulates leptin release. Finally, fructose is more likely than glucose tobe converted to fat. Use this information to propose an explanation for thecorrelation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose cornsyrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.arrow_forward

Define the fed, post-absorptive, fasting, and starved states. Outline changes in the utilization of glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, and ketone bodies as the body transitions from the fed state to the prolonged starvation state. Describe the impacts of insulin, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol on CHO, lipid, and protein metabolism. Describe the major pathways that occur in the liver, muscle, adipose tissue. Describe which hormones exercise tends to increase and potential impacts on pathways we’ve discussed. Describe the cori cycle and the glucose-alanine cycle. Describe differences in primary fuel sources by exercise intensity. Describe classical vs moderate CHO loading in preparation for competition in trained athletes.
