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.
