Physiology
Answer: 1) Induction of glucokinase
Explanation: Insulin enhances glucose uptake in the liver by inducing the synthesis of glucokinase, an enzyme that converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. This "glucose trapping" mechanism keeps intracellular glucose levels low and promotes further glucose entry into the cell.

Nephrotic syndrome is associated with hyperlipidemia, particularly increased levels of LDL and cholesterol. The underlying mechanism involves the loss of albumin in the urine, which leads to hypoalbuminemia. This causes an increased synthesis of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) by the liver to compensate for the loss of oncotic pressure. Additionally, the loss of proteins that normally bind to cholesterol in the blood, such as lipoproteins, results in decreased clearance of LDL.
