Which of the following occurs when insulin is released?
A) insulin binds to receptors on cell surfaces

E) all of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin release triggers several physiological responses to lower blood glucose levels: it binds to receptors on cell surfaces (A), initiates a protein kinase cascade leading to glycogen synthesis (B), stimulates the GLUT4 transport protein system in muscle cells to increase glucose uptake (C), and facilitates the movement of glucose transporters to help move glucose out of the blood and into cells (D). Therefore, all of these statements are correct.
