  1. Body composition Body stores of these increase with gestation except for: (a) fat (b) protein (c) glycogen (d) calcium (e) sodium

  2. Precursors for gluconeogenesis All of the following precursors can be used by the newborn as substrates for gluconeogenesis except: (a) lactate (b) leucine (c) glycerol (d) galactose (e) alanine

  3. Gluconeogenic enzymes Gluconeogenic enzymes include: (a) pyruvate carboxylase, fructose-1,6-biphosphatase (b) pyruvate carboxylase, fructose-1,6-biphosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (c) pyruvate carboxylase, fructose-1,6-biphosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, phosphoglucomutase (d) pyruvate carboxylase, fructose-1,6-biphosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, glucokinase

  4. Newborn transition Which of the following occur during the immediate newborn period (a) insulin levels increase, glucagon levels decrease, epinephrine levels increase (b) insulin levels decrease, glucagon levels decrease, epinephrine levels increase (c) insulin levels decrease, glucagon levels increase, epinephrine levels decrease (d) insulin levels decrease, glucagon levels increase, epinephrine levels increase

  5. Glucose Production Rates Which of the following statements are true: (a) glucose production rates are higher in the newborn than adult and averages 4 mg/k/min (b) glucose production rates are higher in the newborn because of the higher metabolic rate (c) glucose production rates are higher in the newborn because of the higher brain/body weight ratio (d) all of the above
