Question Answered step-by-step  Normally Insulin with the help of Na+-H+ antiporter leads to activationof the Na+-K+ ATPase, causing an intracellular influx of potassium.  However, when faced with lack of Insulin, activation of the Na+-K+ ATPase is not possible leading to accumulation of Potassium in vascular space (causing hyperkalemia).  Now due to the efforts of the body to maintain homeostasis that we spoke of in Step three, what will happen to our increased K level in the vascular space?  Health Science Science Nursing NURSIING 620 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
