The activity of which of the following enzymes is increased in Diabetes Mellitus?
Diabetic situation is same like fasting or starvation i.e. catabolic situation in the body. So, in Diabetes Mellitus, the activity of Catabolic enzymes is increased. Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase-I (CPT-I) is an enzyme of b-Oxidation which is a Catabolic pathway. Therefore, it is increased in Diabetes. Option b & c - Phosphoenol Pyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) and Glucose -6-Phosphatase are enzymes of Gluconeogenesis which is a Catabolic pathway and hence increased in Diabetes. So, answer is all.
CPT-1
Phosphoenol Pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK)
Glucose-6-Phosphatase
All
Diabetes
