The possible explanations for glucagon: insulin ratio determining the rate and direction of fatty acid metabolism are A. high insulin inactivates hormone-sensitive lipase B. lipoprotein lipase activity is reduced by high level of insulin C. glucagon activates hormone sensitive lipase D. glucagon inactivates Acetyl CoA Carboxylase E. all of the above

Glucagon is a hormone that is released by the pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels. It acts to increase blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen (stored glucose) in the liver and by stimulating the production of glucose from other Show more…

Which statement best distinguishes between lipoprotein lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase? Note: hydrolysis refers to the breakdown of triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol. A. The activity of lipoprotein lipase is decreased by insulin, while the activity of hormone-sensitive lipase is not. B. The activity of both hormone-sensitive lipase and lipoprotein lipase are increased by insulin. C. Lipoprotein lipase hydrolyses triglycerides present in VLDLs and chylomicrons, while hormone-sensitive lipase hydrolyses triglycerides in adipose tissue, releasing free fatty acids into the blood. D. Hormone-sensitive lipase hydrolyses triglycerides present in VLDLs and chylomicrons, while lipoprotein lipase hydrolyses triglycerides in adipose tissue, releasing free fatty acids into the blood.

Part A Select ALL statements that correctly describe regulation of fatty acid metabolism by hormone signaling in liver cells. Insulin signaling promotes fatty acid synthesis. Glucagon, epinephrine, and insulin signaling all alter the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Insulin is important for regulation of fatty acid metabolism, but glucagon and epinephrine are not. Both glucagon and epinephrine signaling inhibit fatty acid synthesis. Glucagon and epinephrine signaling regulate fatty acid oxidation; insulin signaling regulates fatty acid synthesis.
