Question

Part E -Module 16.5 The Endocrine Pancreas Felix's blood glucose level is consistently low, which is a risk factor for falling. Medications that reduce the blood glucose level, such as insulin products, commonly cause hypoglycemia. Felix has never been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, nor has he taken any medications that cause hypoglycemia. There are tumors called insulinomas that may be located outside the pancreas that secrete high amounts of insulin. Dr. Young explains that he thinks this possibility is unlikely, but he will investigate it nonetheless During a recent stay in the hospital, Felix felt very sweaty, confused, and weak. His nurse used a bedside glucometer device to check Felix's blood glucose level, which was extremely low. The nurse administered an intravenous dose of both dextrose and glucagon per hospital protocol for hypoglycemia. The glucagon will do all of the following except o trigger protein catabolism in muscle tissue, which would release amino acids that o trigger the release of fats from adipose tissue, which could be used for o trigger cellular uptake of amino acids and glucose into liver and muscle cells, leading could be used in gluconeogenesis gluconeogenesis to an increase in the blood glucose level stimulate the breakdown of glycogen into glucose via glycogenolysis, which would increase the blood glucose level Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

Glycogen does not have effect on amion acid aluptake in muscle tissue .

In muscle tissue glucagon has noeffect on glycogen synthesis ,amino acid uptake,glucose uptake and k transport into cells.

In livet it causes glycognolysis,gluconeogenesis,protein synthesis

In adipose tissue it causes fatty acid synthesis,lipolysis,decrease storage of triglycerides
