Which systemic shift results with chronically elevated insulin?

💡 Explanation

Insulin resistance develops through cells decreasing insulin receptor expression to limit signaling even with high insulin because persistent stimulation causes receptor downregulation, therefore tissue sensitivity declines rather than glucose uptake increasing.

• If a patient's thyroid hormone (T4) levels are chronically elevated due to a thyroid tumor unresponsive to normal feedback loops, which consequence follows?
