True / False Questions

27. When a drug is given to block the adrenergic receptors during exercise, muscle glycogen utilization is reduced.
    FALSE
28. Chronic exposure to high levels of a hormone results in “up regulation” of receptors.
    FALSE
29. Blood epinephrine levels increase as exercise intensity increases, but decrease as exercise duration increases.
    FALSE
30. Glucagon secretion increases during exercise, which decreases liver glycogen stores in order to maintain blood glucose concentration.
    TRUE

 

31. Growth hormone secretion increases during exercise and decreases during sleep.
    FALSE

 

32. Even though the concentration of insulin decreases during exercise, the muscle can still take up large quantities of plasma glucose. This is due, in part, to the recruitment of more glucose transporters.
    TRUE
