Question

Required information 2. Lisa was moderately overweight, and the physician recommended that she lose weight to help alleviate her symptoms. What does 4 decreasing the amount of adipose tissue and specifically, decreesing the size of adipocytes do? O Decreases insulin sensitivity Elevates plasma triglycerides OIncreases the number of beta cells in the pancreas 3. Lisa did not have glycosuria, but she complained of frequent urination and continuous thirst. How might it be possible to have glucose in the urine only at some times during the day Increased urine formation decreases the normal concentration of glucose in the blood Slight insulin resistance can cause glucose to enter the urine following a meal when glucose levels are excessively high Fasting gluconeogenesis increases blood glucose to levels sufficient to cause glycosuria nces 4 How does elevated blood glucose contribute to polyuria? O Glucose in the kidney tubules decreases ieabsorption of water in the renal tubules. Hyperglycemia inhibits anglotensin I Hyperglycemia infibits the activity of vasopressin. OInsulin insensitivity decreases suppresses renin secretion.

Answer 1

Ans. 2 decreases insulin resistance

There is direct coorelaion between the size of adipocytes of an individual and the insulin resistance which is directly proportional to each other . Thus decreasing the amount of adipose tissue/ decreasing the size of the adipocytes will lead to decrease in the insulin resistance.

Ans.3 slight insulin resistance can cause glucose to enter the urine following a meal when the glucose levels are excessively high

Normally , following a meal there is enough insulin release to compensate for the hyperglycemia but if there is slight insulin resistance , the amount of insulin released is not enough to compensate for the hyperglycemia resulting in excessive glucose getting filtered through the glomeruli following a meal , and if the concentration of the glucose filtered exceeds the renal threshold, it will lead to glycosuria ( occasional glycosuria after meal)

Ans.4 glucose in the kidney tubules decrease the reabsorption of water in the renal tubules

Elevated blood glucose levels ( hyperglycemia) results in excessive glucose getting filtered through the glomeruli . This excess glucose causes osmotic diuresis ( i.e excess of glucose in the tubules cause retention of water inside the tubules due to their high osmolarity) resulting in polyuria .
