[{'content': 'All of the following are stress responses except \nSelect and explain. \nA. Increased ANS activity, B. Increased peripheral insulin resistance, C. Decrease in blood glucose, D. Loss of muscle protein', 'role': 'user'}, {'content': 'Answer: C \nExplanation: Ans: C. Decrease in blood glucose[Ref: Understanding of medical physiology p. 470, 471).Neuroendocrine secretions cause following metabolic disturbances during stress: -Protein catabolism:Most impoant metabolic change in the stress.Results in anemia, hypoproteinemia & loss of lean body mass (mainly muscle proteins).Most impoant hormone - Coisol.Hyperglycemia:Suppression of insulin secretion coupled with increased secretion of glucagon, growth hormone, glucocoicoids (coisol), and catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine) leads to hyperglycemia.Increased Plasma FFA level:Increased lipolysis leading to elevated plasma FFA level is the result of suppression of insulin secretion as well as increased secretion of coisol, GH and catecholamines.Salt and water retention:Due to elevated secretion of ADH and aldosterone (Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system).', 'role': 'assistant'}]
