Which of the following best explains why glucose uptake into liver cells continues in insulin-resistant states, even when skeletal muscle glucose uptake is impaired?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. Liver cells express GLUT-4 transporters, which are activated by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) during fasting.
  2. Liver cells use GLUT-2 transporters, which are insulin-dependent and respond to glucokinase activation.
  3. Liver cells express GLUT-2 transporters, which are insulin-independent and facilitate passive glucose uptake based on concentration gradient.
  4. Glucokinase in liver cells directly increases the number of GLUT-4 transporters in the plasma membrane, enhancing glucose uptake.

A 45-year-old woman developed fatigue in July and had blood counts that were reported to be normal. She was hospitalized because of a very severe headache in December, and was found to have a blood pressure of 175/90. Her laboratory values were as follows: hemoglobin (8.3 g/dL), RBC count (2.2 × 10^6/μl), Hct (23%), MCV (89 fL), WBCs (5100/μl), platelets (262 × 10^3/μl), and reticulocyte count 0.8%. What is the diagnosis for this patient?
