Adult onset diabetes, diabetes type 2, can best be described using which of the following concepts?

Constantly high blood sugar leads to glucagon release. Glucagon is an antagonist to insulin, leading to a decrease in insulin.

Constantly high blood sugar leads to the release of glucagon. Glucagon causes gluconeogenesis, which makes blood sugar higher.

Constantly high blood sugar leads to high insulin release. High amounts of insulin lead to down-regulation of insulin receptors.

Constantly high blood sugar leads to high insulin release. High levels of insulin cause up-regulation of insulin receptors.

The correct answer here is as follows:

Constantly high blood sugar leads to high insulin release. High amounts of insulin lead to down-regulation of insulin receptors.

Math Calculus — AID—

Total time spent: 4 hours 15 minutes (it is equivalent to 255 minutes). Let the flight time from Paris to Glasgow be X. Then the flight time from Glasgow to Paris will be (X+10). We have an equation with one unknown variable: X + 45 + (X+10) = 255 ⇒ X = 100 So the […]

How does 3D printing work?

There are three different ways 3D printers work but they all rely on the printer converting a design into individual 2D slices which are then combined to make the final 3D object. The first method uses a pool of chemicals that turns solid when light, typically a UV laser, is shone on to it. The […]
