In the 90âs, one new way to treat patients with HIV was by administering growth hormone in order to combat the muscle wasting that is associated with this disease. Growth hormone administration worked very well in reducing muscle loss but it had an unfortunate side effect: it caused diabetes in the people treated. By which mechanism is growth hormone likely causing diabetes?
| a) | Growth hormone causes decreased adipose tissue free fatty acid release, increased skeletal muscle glucose uptake and increases liver gluconeogenesis | |
| | b) | Growth hormone causes decreased adipose tissue free fatty acid release, decreases skeletal muscle glucose uptake and decreases liver gluconeogenesis | |
| | c) | Growth hormone causes increased adipose tissue free fatty acid release, decreases skeletal muscle glucose uptake and increases liver gluconeogenesis | |
| | d) | Growth hormone causes increased adipose tissue free fatty acid release, increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake and increases liver gluconeogenesis | |
