Answer:

E. Interleukin-1

Explanation:

Interleukin-1 is produced by macrophages and is involved in promoting the proliferation of helper T cells. Interleukin-1 also acts on the hypothalamus to cause fever. Fever refers to abnormally high body temperature. During infection and inflammation, the hypothalamic thermostat is reset in response to interleukin-1 resulting in fever. The presence of certain bacterial toxins in the body triggers the release of interleukin-1 from macrophages and the body temperature is elevated. Fever inhibits the growth of some microbes, intensifies the effects of interferons, and stimulates the body's immune reactions.

The Vmax of the isoform of glycogen phosphorylase expressed in muscles is significantly larger than the isoform of the enzyme ex
julsineya [31]

Answer and Explanation: In enzyme kinetics, one constant describing enzyme activity is <em>Maximal Velocity</em> (Vmax). It indicates how fast an enzyme can catalyze the reaction. It is dependent on substrate concentration.

As the muscle is an organ which needs a great amount of energy, the enzyme glycogen phosphorilase is very active on the organ, compared to the liver, where glicose is stored. So, the Vmax of glycogen phosphorylase expressed in muscle is faster than when expressed in the liver, means the enzyme in muscle has a bigger concentration of substrate and therefore will reach Vmax faster, i.e. will be significantly larger.
