Correct answer: A. Increased glycogenolysis
- A. Increased glycogenolysis
- B. Decreased gluconeogenesis
- C. Increased transport of glucose into cells
- D. Induction of lipoprotein lipase
Explanation
Insulin promotes glycogen synthesis and inhibits glycogenolysis, so increased glycogen breakdown is not an insulin effect. It also decreases gluconeogenesis and promotes glucose uptake and lipoprotein lipase activity.
