Determine the alpha-islet cells of the pancreas.
Person X is a healthy human who has volunteered to take experimental drug Y. Person X has a normal dinner at 6 PM on April 1 and then does not eat for 12 hours. At 2 AM on April 2, X takes a dose of Y that closes all the ATP-sensitive potassium channels in X's beta-islet cells of the pancreas for 6 hours. For this question, ignore any effects due to alpha-islet cells of the pancreas.
A. At 3 AM, X's blood plasma levels of insulin will be higher than X's blood plasma levels of insulin at 1 AM.
B. At 3 AM, X's blood plasma levels of glucose will be higher than X's blood plasma levels of glucose at 1 AM.
C. At 3 AM, the glucose permeability of X's skeletal muscle cells will be higher than the glucose permeability of X's skeletal muscle cells at 1 AM.
