b. Glycogen synthesis in the liver reduces blood glucose concentrations
Insulin levels are controlled by GnRH released by the hypothalamus
a. The migration of the GLUT4 transporter to the target cell membrane will increase blood glucose
b. Glycogen synthesis in the liver reduces blood glucose concentrations
c.Insulin levels are controlled by GnRH released by the hypothalamus
Explanation / Answer
The hormone insulin causes conversion of glucose to glycogen and forces the cells of the body to take up glucose from GLUT4 transporter, which causes a decrease in blood sugar.
When level of blood sugar drops, pancreas release glucagon which causes conversion of glycogen to glucose to increase blood glucose concentrations.
The insulin levels are primarily regulated by the Gonadotropin releasing hormone which is secreted from GnRH neurons present within the hypothalamus.
Hence, the correct option is c.
