1. What is the general purpose of feedback inhibition? What is the problem if feedback inhibitionhappens when it isn’t supposed to?
2. How do the effects of insulin resistance compound to decrease cellular responses to insulin?
3. Hypothesize a mechanism by which the GLUT4 transporter’s fusion to the cell membrane
could be decreased.
An overstimulation by insulin signaling molecules, such as individuals with Type II
diabetes, can distort the response to insulin receptors. A distorted response will lead to a changed
