Question

A protein that induces this behavior is synthesized by P/D1 (“P slash D1”) cells. This behavior is suppressed by the peptide and receptor encoded by the mouse ob (“O-B”) and db (“D-B”) genes. This behavior is induced by a protein named for the agouti (“uh-GOO-tee”) along with neuropeptide (20[1])Y in the arcuate (20[2])nucleus of the hypothalamus. Post-prandial HbA1c is measured immediately after this behavior. (20[2])Desire (20[3])to do this behavior (20[1])is reduced by (*) semaglutide, (10[3])a GLP-1 (10[2])receptor (10[2])agonist. (10[1])The hormones ghrelin (“GRELL-in”) and leptin (10[4])respectively induce and suppress this behavior. (10[3])Immediately after this action, diabetics may inject (10[1])insulin to prevent hyperglycemia. For 10 points, drugs like Ozempic reduce the frequency of what behavior by simulating satiety, a feeling of (10[1])fullness? (10[1])■END■ (10[9])
