There are two forms of diabetes: diabetes mellitus (lack of insulin regulation of cellular uptake of glucose) and diabetes insipidus (lack of regulation of water loss in the urine by the hormone antidiuretic hormone or ADH). In each case, there are two similar explanations for the resulting pathology. What are they? (Hint: Consider general principles of hormone action.)
What will be an ideal response?
Diabetes mellitus can result from lack of insulin secretion or from lack of response of insulin receptors. Diabetes insipidus can result from lack of ADH secretion or lack of responsiveness of ADH receptors.
