Question

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by the: failure of the body to produce ketones rapid break down of carbohydrates in the body. excessive movement of blood glucose into various body cells. inadequate production of insulin in the body. Obese men are more likely than obese women to develop type 2 diabetes, perhaps because coses men are more genetically inclined to have autoimmune diseases than women male muscles contain a protein that interferes with intake of glucose, testosterone, the primary male hormone, destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. men demonstrate a lesser degree of insulin resistance than women B ARE NEREN BEN

Answer 1

Obese men are more likely than obese women to develop type 2 diabetes perhaps because male muscles contain protein that interferes with the intake of glucose.

Explanation:- A protein known as PTEN is higher in men muscles comparatively to women. Higher amount of PTEN protein in muscles prevent insulin to act properly in the muscles which reduce the amount of sugar that are muscles uses ,which leads to increase the chance to get type 2 diabetes easily. Secondly in men fat usually deposit in liver and pancreas while in women fat usually deposit in subcutaneous form. Hence men are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes then obese women due to PTEN protein present in muscles.
