A. Transport glucose from blood into muscle cells. B. Liver cells to take up glucose from blood and store glucose as glycogen. C. Adipocytes take up glucose from blood. D. Liver cells break down glycogen to release glucose into blood. E. None of the above 4. A patient produces an antibody attack his own pancreatic beta cells, whatawould be consequence?

A. Decrease in insulin production B. Increase in insulin production C. Less glucose transporters on muscle, liver, or adipose tissue. D. More glucose transporters on muscle, liver, or adipose tissue.

E. Less glucose is taken up by the cells from blood into the cells more glucose stays in blood. F. More glucose is taken up by the cells from blood into the cells, mare glucose stays in blood. G. Blood sugar level increases H. Blood sugar level decreases 1. More glycogen in liver cells 1. Less glycogen in liver cells
