his idea is quickly shot down by a classmate, who states, "not so fast, derek; "

a. as leptin increases, glucose absorption decreases
b. high levels of leptin inhibit insulin synthesis
c. leptin is metabolized by fat cells quicker than it is produced
d. obese humans already have high levels of circulating leptin

D

Explanation:

Obese humans already have high levels of circulating leptin

Leptin is a hormone secreted from fat cells that helps to regulate body weight. But in obese people they have unusually high levels of leptin. This is because in some obese people, the brain does not respond to leptin, so they keep eating despite adequate (or excessive) fat stores, a concept known as ‘leptin resistance’. This causes the fat cells to produce even more leptin.

answer; i believe the above is (false)

the correct answer is modern american cars are not available due to trade restrictions.

trade between cuba and the united states have serious restrictions. the u.s. imposed an economic embargo on cuba, that among other things means that modern american cars are not available due to trade restrictions.

in response to some governmental actions of the authorities from cuba, president john f. kennedy proclaimed an embargo on trade between both countries in february 1962. the trade embargo remains active until this day and was implemented directly by the departments of commerce and the department of treasury.

in president trump’s administration, there is a national security presidential memorandum that "strengthens the policy of the u. s.", affecting trade with cuba.
