(A) High ATP and high citrate
(B) High AMP and high citrate

(D) High ATP and high F-2,6-BP

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by an inability of the cells to properly produce (type I) or respond (type II) to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas in response to high levels of blood glucose. Without insulin, glucose accumulates in the blood. In situations of low blood glucose, another pancreatic enzyme, glucagon, is released, which triggers the process of gluconeogenesis, shown on the right side of the pathway below. The stimulators, activators, or inhibitors of each step are shown with + or - signs.
