Insulin caused lipogenesis by all except____________?
Correct answer: C. Inhibits Pyruvate dehydrogenase
- A. Increasing acetyl-CoA corboxylase activity
- B. Increases the transport of glucose in to the cells
- C. Inhibits Pyruvate dehydrogenase
- D. Decreases intracellular cAMP level
Explanation
Insulin stimulates, rather than inhibits, pyruvate dehydrogenase, increasing acetyl-CoA supply for fatty-acid synthesis. It also increases glucose uptake, activates acetyl-CoA carboxylase and lowers intracellular cAMP.
