← Human Body & HealthWhich outcome impedes nutrient regulation when taste bud damage occurs?
A)Reduced cephalic phase insulin release✓
B)Increased gastric acid secretion
C)Elevated hepatic glucose production
D)Intensified intestinal bile secretion
💡 Explanation
Reduced cephalic phase insulin release results from disrupting sensory input from taste buds because taste bud damage impairs neuroendocrine reflexes, diminishing anticipatory insulin secretion which regulates glucose uptake, rather than altering gastric or bile activities directly.
