Which of the following is NOT done by insulin?
Correct Answer: Increases ketogenesis
Description: Insulin prevents or decreases ketogenesis. It doesnot increase ketogenesis so this is the right choice. Rest all process is done by Insulin. Also Know: Effect of Insulin on various tissues: Adipose tissue: Increased glucose entry Increased fatty acid synthesis Increased glycerol phosphate synthesis Increased triglyceride deposition Activation of lipoprotein lipase Inhibition of hormone-sensitive lipase Increased K+ uptake Muscle: Increased glucose entry Increased glycogen synthesis Increased amino acid uptake Increased protein synthesis in ribosomes Decreased protein catabolism Decreased release of gluconeogenic amino acids Increased ketone uptake Increased K+ uptake Liver: Decreased ketogenesis Increased protein synthesis Increased lipid synthesis Decreased glucose output due to decreased gluconeogenesis, increased glycogen synthesis, and increased glycolysis General: Increased cell growth Ref: Barrett K.E., Barman S.M., Boitano S., Brooks H.L.
