← Human Body & HealthWhich acute consequence results when peripheral cells decrease GLUT4 translocation in response to insulin in peripheral cells?
A)Increased serum glucose concentration✓
B)Elevated neuronal glycogen storage
C)Decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis rate
D)Enhanced peripheral tissue lipolysis
💡 Explanation
Decreased GLUT4 translocation reduces cellular glucose uptake, causing increased serum concentration because the insulin signal is not effectively translated. Therefore, hyperglycemia will result, rather than liver, neuronal, and fat metabolism shifts in other tissues.
