How high level of cortisol lead to hyperglycemia and weight gain? (Think about protein catabolism, synthesis in muscle, lipolysis, effects on the liver, glucose sensitivity, insulin resistance)
What is not true about ketogenesis during starvation?
AcetylcoA cannot enter TCA cycle because lack of oxaloacetic acid, then it is alternatively used for ketone body formation
Both brain and red blood cell can use ketone bodies
Gluconeogenesis still occurs from glycerol released from adipose tissue
Protein sparing contributes to an increased lipolysis and ketogenesis
It is due to extensive use of fat as an energy source upon prolonged fasting
Which of the following processes is activated by insulin?
A. Triacylglycerol breakdown
B. Gluconeogenesis
C. Glycogenolysis
D. Fatty acid synthesis
E. Adenylate cyclase activity
