You are treating a young boy (age 12) who has been experiences severe episodes of hypoglycemia. Measurement of circulating insulin and glucagon levels indicate that they are normal and responsive to cycles of feeding and fasting. The hypoglycemia can most easily be explained as a defect in which of the following processes? a. adipose tissue HSL activation b. hepatic gluconeogenesis c. renal gluconeogenesis d. skeletal muscle GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane
