The Insulin Level Is Reduced in Many (Although Not All)

The insulin level is reduced in many (although not all) diabetic patients.Adipocyte metabolism in these hypoinsulinemic patients is altered in the following ways, in comparison with normal subjects:

A) Glycerolphosphate-acyl transferase activity is lower, and triglyceride synthesis slows down.
B) Hormone-sensitive adipose tissue lipase activity is reduced, and more triglyceride is stored.
C) More glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) transporters are deployed in the plasma membrane.
D) Enhanced lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity leads to hypotriglyceridemia.
E) The synthesis of ketone bodies by adipocytes is increased.
