Which of the following describes an action of
insulin?
a) Inhibits gluconeogenesis
b) Inhibits the synthesis of glycogen
c) Promotes breakdown of adipose tissue
Homework Answers
ANSWER.
a) Insulin inhibits the gluconeognesis process.
* Gluconeogensis is a process of formation of glucose from proteins
and lipids (non carbohydrate substances).
* Insulin effectively maintain the normal blood sugar level by controling this
new glucose producing process.

An increase in intracellular phosphoinositol 3,4,5 triphosphosphate (PIP3): leads to the activation of PI-3 kinase. leads to glucose absorption via GLUT 4 in the muscle and adipose. is accomplished by the GTP-bound Gs alpha-subunit. leads to glycogen breakdown in the liver. is an intermediate in glucagon signaling that primarily occurs in the liver and adipose tissues. The following metabolic effects are accomplished by glucagon signaling: mobilization and fusion with the membrane of GLUT 4 carrying vesicles within adipose and muscle...
