Insulin affects all of the listed options: it promotes the translocation of GLUT 4 transporters to the cell membrane to increase glucose uptake, activates pyruvate dehydrogenase to enhance glucose oxidation, stimulates acetyl-CoA carboxylase to promote fatty acid synthesis, and activates glycogen synthase while inhibiting glycogen phosphorylase to promote glycogen synthesis and inhibit glycogen breakdown, respectively.
