Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Exercise leads to more muscle and less fat, so blood glucose levels tend to return to normal. Exercise increases the rate of glucose uptake in the contracting skeletal muscles. Exercise on a regular basis prevents reduction in lean body mass and protein wasting. The liver is not the primary storage and utilization site of glucose.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Lifestyle management is critical for managing metabolic syndrome; other approaches will not be effective without it. Psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and patient education are not the most critical approaches to treating metabolic syndrome.
