S,u r right shazbaz,

okay,Adipose Tissue n skeletal muscle require Insulin for uptake.dats very simple.

In case we are given options of resting skeletal muscle n exercising skeletal muscle,then which one requires Insulin for uptake?


  #4

then it should be resting muscle because exercising muscle doesnt require insulin i believe

  #5

GLUT 4 translocation to cell membrane in skeletal muscle is stimulated by exercise,this effect involves 5-AMP activated kinase and is independent of INSULIN,

The tissues which do not require INSULIN for glucose uptake are-[font style="background-color: #ffcc99"]BRICK LES[/font]

Brain,

RBC.

Intestine,

Cornea.

Kidney

Liver

Exercising Skeletal muscle.


  #6

in other words, exercise induces the upregulation of glut4 receptors on skeletal muscle, that is why exercise is recomended for DM2.
