Blood of the patients with diabetes mellitus shows increased content of free fatty acids. Name the most likely cause of this:
- A. Activation of ketone bodies utilization
- B. Accumulation of palmitoyl-CoA in cytosol
- C. Increased activity of adipose triglyceride lipase
- D. Activation of apoA1, apoA2, and apoA4 apolipoprotein synthesis
- E. Decreased activity of plasma phosphatidylcholine-cholesterolacyltransferase
Hint
Think about what loss of insulin's braking effect does to the breakdown of storage fat in the depots, and what is then released into the circulation.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
