Let's say, hypothetically, that you inject the hypothalamus with a chemical making its cells insensitive to glucose. What would most likely result?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in regulating hunger and satiety. Insensitivity to glucose would impair this regulation and result in increased hunger and overeating, leading to ravenous eating. Therefore, choice C is the most likely result. Coma and self-starvation are less likely outcomes, while diabetes is an endocrine disorder and not necessarily a direct result of hypothalamic insensitivity to glucose.
