Explanation / Answer

Answers:

(2) (d)  It results in very rapid rates of fatty acid release from adipose tissue is not true.

Release of fatty acids from adipose tissue results in insulin resistance.

(3) (c)  It is caused by insulin resistance is not true.

Type 1 diabetes is generally without insulin resistance and occur primarily because of insulin deficiency.

(4) (a)  It stimulates the liver to increase glucose production is true.

When the concentration of blood glucose decreases, the pancreas secretes glucagon which stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose.
