While _________ suppresses gluconeogenesis,____________ increases glycogen breakdown.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gluconeogenesis is the process of synthesizing glucose from non-carbohydrate sources in the body, such as amino acids, lactate, and glycerol. Insulin suppresses gluconeogenesis, while glucagon promotes it. On the other hand, glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, which can be used for energy. Insulin inhibits glycogenolysis, while glucagon activates it. Therefore, the correct choice is B: insulin suppresses gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, while glucagon promotes them.
