need quick answer no need of explanation

In response to a meal, the beta cells of the pancreas are stimulated to produce insulin. As a result of insulin's actions:

Group of answer choices

Both blood glucose and blood fatty acids are decreased, but protein synthesis does not change.

Blood fatty acids are decreased

Blood glucose is decreased

Protein synthesis is increased

Both blood glucose and blood fatty acids are decreased, and protein synthesis is increased.

Answer 1

E) Both blood glucose and blood fatty acids are decreased, and protein synthesis is increased.

Explanation: Insulin inhibits breakdown of fat in adipose tissue by inhibiting the intracellular lipase that hydrolyzes triglycerides to release fatty acids. Insulin increases the glucose intake by the cell. Hence insulin decreases both blood glucose and blood fatty acids.

Protein is formed in the absence of insulin; the net formation of protein is accelerated by insulin.
