- Chronic stress or GC exposure can cause insulin resistance. The influence of GC on insulin is complex, but leads to hyperinsulinemia (high circulating insulin levels) and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is typically caused by a decreased number of insulin receptors on the cell surface. Speculate on a mechanism resulting in a decreased number of insulin receptors.arrow_forwardIllustrate, using a negative feedback pathway, the regulation of hormones of the thyroid gland. Using this illustration, explain (in words) how the negative feedback pathway works.arrow_forwardTrace in a stepwise manner the signaling pathway that involves a g-protein receptor leading to the release of intracellular calcium.
