Included Quiz Questions
Which of the following is NOT true regarding fat metabolism in the body?
- Insulin and adrenaline together participate in the breakdown of proteins inside the cell by regulating the phosphorylation of proteases.
- The binding of epinephrine or glucagon to the cell receptors stimulates the breakdown of fats by activating the triacylglycerol lipase enzyme.
- The attachment of insulin to the cell membrane receptor activates the enzyme phosphoprotein phosphatase and stimulates the removal of phosphate from the activated triacylglycerol lipase and perilipin protein.
- Insulin works against the adrenalin hormone and stimulates fat synthesis in the body.
- The phosphorylated triacylglycerol lipase works in conjugation with perilipin protein and removes the first fatty acid from the triacylglycerol molecule.
Which of the following enzyme participates in fat synthesis under the effect of the insulin hormone?
- Acetyl-CoA-carboxylase
- Perilipin
- Triacylglycerol lipase
- Glycogen synthase
