At 30, 60, and 90 minutes the dextrose (sugar-consuming) group had less urinary volume output (excretion) than the water group. Which of the following physiological explanations could best explain these data?  Write letter in the space provided.  A. Inhibition of ADH due to increased blood osmolality resulting from dextrose consumption. B. Stimulation of insulin due to decreased blood osmolality resulting from dextrose consumption. C. Inhibition of insulin due to increased blood osmolality resulting from dextrose consumption. D. Stimulation of ADH due to increased blood osmolality resulting from dextrose consumption. E. Stimulation of ADH due to decreased blood osmolality resulting from dextrose consumption. F. None of those mentioned above could explain the data.

Briefly, how is blood glucose regulated during periods of time when no food is consumed (as during fasting, for example)? If a hormone is involved, then what is the hormone and from where specifically (organ and cell type) is that hormone released?  What is the likely physiological mechanism (how the hormone exerts its effect) regulating blood glucose during fasting?  Explain.

How can the data showing decreasing levels of blood glucose after 30 minutes be explained? If a hormone is involved, then what is the hormone and from where specifically (organ and cell type) is that hormone released? Explain what the likely physiological mechanism (how the hormone exerts its effect) is that is causing the decrease.  Be specific.

Based on what you know about ketones, why were ketones likely all negative in the data obtained from the students after an ~8 hour fast and that were provided to you?  Briefly, explain.  Remember that the “N” in the data provided meant “negative” for ketones.
