Neco 2023 Biology Question 28
Practice objective / multiple choice question 28 from the 2023 Neco Biology examination.
A 70\,kg adult has a basal hepatic glucose production rate of \(2\ \text{mg·kg}^{-1}\text{·min}^{-1}\). During a hyperinsulinemic clamp, plasma insulin concentration is increased from \(6\ \mu\text{U·mL}^{-1}\) to \(18\ \mu\text{U·mL}^{-1}\). Each increase of \(1\ \mu\text{U·mL}^{-1}\) above the basal level reduces hepatic glucose output by \(0.05\ \text{mg·kg}^{-1}\text{·min}^{-1}\). What is the hepatic glucose output (in mg·min\(^{-1}\)) at the end of the clamp?
