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 otherwise healthy man tries an extremely restrictive "no-carb" fat-based diet that only includes palmitic acid (16:0) palmitoleic acid (16:1), and oleic acid (18:1) A likely physiological consequence of this extremely restrictive diet is _______ due to the buildup of _______ . High levels of ceramide can cause cells to become resistant to insulin. Choose the statement that describes the effect of insulin resistance. Increased activation of acetyl CoA carboxylase. A decrease in gluconeogenesis and glycogen breakdown...
