The expected outcome in adipose tissue after exposure to glucagon would be an increased
A) glucose uptake through GLUT4.
B) glycerol synthesis.
C) fatty acid uptake from lipoprotein particles.
D) triacylglycerol hydrolysis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon stimulates lipolysis in adipose tissue, which results in the breakdown of triacylglycerols into glycerol and fatty acids. Therefore, the expected outcome after exposure to glucagon would be an increased triacylglycerol hydrolysis.
