Question 1 of 5
Insulin therapy is required for the following category/categories of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Insulin therapy is required for patients with ketoacidosis to lower blood glucose levels. Patients undergoing surgery may need insulin to manage blood sugar fluctuations. Pregnant diabetics often require insulin to maintain stable blood sugar levels for fetal health. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as all the mentioned categories of type 2 diabetes patients may benefit from insulin therapy. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because insulin therapy may be necessary for each of these specific patient groups due to their unique medical needs related to type 2 diabetes.
Question 2 of 5
The hypoglycaemic action of sulfonylureas is likely to be reduced by the concurrent use of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Propranolol. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia, making it difficult to recognize and treat low blood sugar levels. This can lead to severe hypoglycemia if not properly managed. Hydrochlorothiazide (A) is a diuretic, Theophylline (C) is a bronchodilator, and Aspirin (D) is a pain reliever, none of which directly affect the hypoglycemic action of sulfonylureas.
Question 3 of 5
Choose the correct statement(s) about pioglitazone:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that acts as an agonist on nuclear peroxisome proliferator receptor γ (PPAR-γ). Step 2: Activation of PPAR-γ enhances transcription of insulin responsive genes. Step 3: By enhancing insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, pioglitazone lowers blood sugar in type 2 diabetes mellitus without causing hyperinsulinemia. Step 4: Therefore, all the statements A, B, and C are correct, making option D the correct answer. Other choices are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the mechanism of action and effects of pioglitazone.
Question 4 of 5
Glucagon release from pancreas is stimulated by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Adrenaline. Glucagon release is stimulated by low blood glucose levels, which triggers the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline signals the liver to release stored glucose, raising blood sugar levels. High blood glucose levels (choice A) would not stimulate glucagon release. Insulin (choice B) decreases blood glucose levels and inhibits glucagon release. Somatostatin (choice C) also inhibits glucagon release.
Question 5 of 5
Hydrocortisone induces the synthesis of the following protein which in turn inhibits the
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Hydrocortisone induces the synthesis of a protein called Lipocortin. 2. Lipocortin inhibits the enzyme phospholipase A2 (Choice A), reducing inflammation. 3. Heat shock protein-90 (Choice B) is not directly related to hydrocortisone's mechanism of action. 4. Inhibin (Choice C) is a hormone that inhibits the secretion of FSH, unrelated to hydrocortisone. 5. Transcortin (Choice D) is a binding protein for cortisol, not involved in hydrocortisone's protein synthesis.
