Question

Insulin should cause:

1-Increased facilitated diffusion of glucose through adipocyte cell membranes

2-Increased numbers of Glut-4 transporters in many insulin-dependent tissues

3-Increased activity of SGLT1

4-Increased conversion of triglycerides to fatty acids

5-Increased storage of triglycerides in adipoctyes

6-Increased storage of glycogen in non-contracting skeletal muscle cells

7-Increased storage of glycogen in hepatocytes

8-Decreased blood glucose

9-Increased uptake of fructose and glucose by beta-islet cells

these conditions are expected to happen in response to increased insulin secretion and activity.

1. Increased facilitated diffusion of glucose through adipocytes and resting skeletal muscle cells

2. Increased numbers of Glut-4 transporters in many insulin-dependent tissues

3. Increased activity of SGLT1 (movement of glucose to enterocytes )

5. Increased storage of triglycerides in adipocytes (due to conversion of glucose to fatty acids and ultimately to triglycerides)

6. Increased storage of glycogen in non-contracting skeletal muscle cells

7. Increased storage of glycogen in hepatocytes

8. Decreased blood glucose

9. Increased uptake of fructose and glucose by beta-islet cells
