Question

Which receptor helps in the improvement of insulin resistance in DM2 with regular exercise and physical activity?

• A. GLUT1
• B. GLUT4
• C. GLUT2
• D. GLUT3

Hint:

Exercise improves insulin sensitivity by increasing the number of GLUT4 transporters on muscle cell membranes, facilitating glucose uptake.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

GLUT4 is the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter that plays a key role in improving insulin resistance. Regular exercise and physical activity increase the expression and activity of GLUT4, enhancing glucose uptake into cells, especially muscle cells.
