What is the effect of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) flux?

Biology
1 answer:
Serjik [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Insulin is responsible for regulating the glucose metabolism through PPP. Insulin increases the G6PD-derived NADPH which regulates several oxido-reductase enzymes. In normal condition, several hormones and nutritional inputs affect the PPP. PPP activity is driven by demand NADPH.  

HMG-CoA reductase activity is reduced by G6PD deficiency. G6PD overexpression causes impaired insulin signaling and also increases the level of FFA and TG . Due to impaired insulin signals, the PPP flux increases

Hence, option A is correct

klasskru [66]

Answer:

the overlapping decreases between the thin and thick filaments.

Explanation:

When w extend our hand or arm to the full and try to lift any heavy object, we are unable to lift the object inspite of applying all our force. We struggle hard to lift the object with our fully extended arm because when we extend our arm fully it decreases the overlapping of our thin and the thick filaments of our muscles which makes it difficult to lift. In other words, the resting length of our arm is the optimal length to generate force.
