released for energy between meals

Question 8

symptoms of diabetes mellitus

Answer 8

polydipsia
polyuria
polyphagia

Question 9

liver in survival mode due to insulin resistance does what

Answer 9

insulin resistance means glucose intake dysfunctional; holds on to fatty acids as source of energy

Question 10

hallmark of metabolic syndrome

Answer 10

insulin resistance

Question 11

pancreas role in metabolic process

Answer 11

beta cells secrete insulin allowing glucose uptake at adipose and muscle cell level

Question 12

liver role in metabolic process

Answer 12

filter, excess glucose processed and stored for future fight or flight use, fatty acids processed into triglycerides

triglycerides are…

Answer 13

lipid in fat cells serving as energy storage; released for energy between meals

Question 14

insulin resistant adipose cells do what

Answer 14

create more adipose cells
