Which acute consequence results when peripheral cells decrease GLUT4 translocation in response to insulin in peripheral cells?

💡 Explanation

Decreased GLUT4 translocation reduces cellular glucose uptake, causing increased serum concentration because the insulin signal is not effectively translated. Therefore, hyperglycemia will result, rather than liver, neuronal, and fat metabolism shifts in other tissues.
