Cell Signaling ELR Pathways - I

Which diabetes type involves insulin resistance?

Type 2, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.

Endocrinology

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is mainly due to:

Go with B — Insulin resistance. Within Endocrinology, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Insulin resistance does in Endocrinology. Holding that picture in mind makes Insulin resistance feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by Insulin resistance.

Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
