Which of the following activates triacylglycerol hydrolysis and fatty acid export in adipose tissue?
A) insulin
B) glucagon
C) somatostatin
D) LpL

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon activates triacylglycerol hydrolysis and fatty acid export in adipose tissue by stimulating the hormone-sensitive lipase. Insulin, on the other hand, promotes lipid storage by inhibiting hormone-sensitive lipase and activating LpL for lipid uptake into adipose tissue. Somatostatin is involved in the regulation of insulin and glucagon release but does not directly activate triacylglycerol hydrolysis or fatty acid export. LpL is involved in lipid transport but is not involved in the activation of triacylglycerol hydrolysis and fatty acid export.
