Obesity

Question

Obesity
A) antagonizes insulin.
B) elevates blood glucose levels.
C) causes Na+ and water reabsorption, thereby increasing blood pressure.
D) All of the above are true.

Accepted Answer

Obesity can lead to insulin resistance, causing it to become less effective at lowering blood sugar levels, leading to high blood glucose levels. Additionally, obesity increases the reabsorption of sodium and water, which results in increased blood volume and higher blood pressure. Therefore, all of the choices are true.
