Which of the following is a key factor that stimulates glucose transport during exercise? A) Elevated cortisol levels B) Insulin secretion C) Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) D) Increased blood sugar levels
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the physiological factors that contribute to glucose transport during exercise, specifically identifying which of the options provided is a key factor in this process.
Answer
Insulin secretion
The final answer is Insulin secretion.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Insulin secretion.
More Information
Insulin facilitates glucose uptake in the muscle cells by promoting the translocation of glucose transporter proteins to the cell surface.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that any increase in blood sugar automatically promotes glucose transport. However, insulin plays a critical role in the transport process during and after exercise.
