Blood Pressure
This is the primary signal for increased aldosterone secretion by the adrenal gland.
What is angiotensin II?
Hexokinase activity is primarily responsible for keeping this molecule from escaping cells once it enters.
What is glucose?
By sitting on the couch, the average person burns approximately this many calories.
What is 1,000 calories?
These insert into the plasma membrane and increase permeability of the collecting duct to water.
What are aquaporins?
Aldosterone gets secreted from this tissue.
What is the adrenal gland?
Plasma ADH levels rise as a result this happening to blood volume.
What is decrease?
High insulin levels will have this effect on liver glycogen.
What is enhance glycogen synthesis.
Cellular energy needs are monitored by this important enzyme, a key regulator of brain, muscle, liver and adipose tissue activity.
What is AMPK?
ADH levels in blood rise in response to this happening to blood.
What is decrease volume?
Of the following, which does not signal that a person is full?
GLP1, CCK, or MCH
ADH/AVP bind receptors on different cell types. On vascular smooth muscle cells, this receptor produces a rise in intracellular calcium.
What is the V1 receptor?
A byproduct of proinsulin processing, this is co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic beta cells.
What is C-peptide?
This hormone, produced by adipose tissue, is an important feedback inhibitor of appetite, especially after a big meal.
What is leptin?
Sodium reabsorption in response to this hormone helps correct blood volume.
What is Angiotensin II?
This transcription factor is the master regulator of adipogenesis.
What is PPAR-gamma?
Water reabsorption in the principal cells of the collecting duct of the kidney is dependent on these becoming available on the plasma membrane.
What are aquaporins?
Chronic hyperglycermia can result in polyphagia, polydipsia, and this, which can result in frequent rest stops on a long trip.
What is polyuria?
Secretion of this hormone is pulsatile, and levels are exaggerated during starvation. It is an important regulator of blood glucose levels.
What is growth hormone.
Renin is secreted from this organ.
What is the kidney?
During prolonged exercise, which of the following will decrease?
Epinephrine, Glucagon, Insulin, or GH
What is insulin?
What is Diabetes Insipidus?
This enzyme is a crucial component of the insulin-signaling pathway, as it is responsible for GLUT4 translocation, AKT activation, and glycogen synthesis.
Couch potatoes are less likely to see a surge in the levels of these hormones, which are important for rapid dumping of glucose from the liver in times of stress.
What is NE and Epi?
This enzyme, often a target of pharmaceuticals hoping to lower blood pressure, is crucial for the production of angiotensin.
What is ACE?
Which is more likely to occur in the presence of insulin? A decrease in glycogen levels in liver or hypoglycemia?
What is hypoglycemia?
