Which of the following stimulate fatty acid synthesis when their concentrations are high?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Citrate and insulin both stimulate fatty acid synthesis when their concentrations are high. Citrate is an allosteric activator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which is a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis. Insulin promotes the dephosphorylation and activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, as well as the transcription of several genes involved in fatty acid synthesis. Glucagon and palmitoyl-CoA both inhibit fatty acid synthesis.
