Question 1 of 5
is not a function of GH.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: GH reduces glucose uptake by muscle, sparing it for other tissues.
Question 2 of 5
Which is TRUE in respect to insulin secretion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Insulin secretion depends on glucose entry into β cells via GLUT2, triggering Ca2+ influx (not efflux of K^+). Metformin enhances sensitivity, not secretion, and cAMP promotes it.
Question 3 of 5
TSN secretion is stimulated by:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assuming 'TSN' is a typo for TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), cold temperatures stimulate its release via TRH. Dopamine and somatostatin inhibit it, stress has variable effects, and glucocorticoids suppress it.
Question 4 of 5
The approx ratio of fat : CHO energy stores is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fat stores vastly exceed carbohydrate (glycogen) stores, approximately 40:1 in a typical human, reflecting fat's higher energy density.
Question 5 of 5
Ketone bodies:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ketone bodies form during glucose deficiency (e.g., fasting), are acids, but are metabolized by extrahepatic tissues, not easily in the liver.
