A primary way by which T₃ increases oxygen consumption and causes heat to be generated (metabolic thermogenesis)in most cells in the body is through increasing the levels of: A)Myosin heavy chain $\alpha$ B)Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4). C)Uncoupling proteins. D)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)oxidase. E)Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uncoupling proteins increase metabolic thermogenesis by uncoupling the electron transport chain from ATP synthesis, which generates heat instead of ATP. Myosin heavy chain, glucose transporter 4, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, and epithelial sodium channel do not directly increase metabolic thermogenesis.
