Which one of the following is not the function of insulin?
- A Increases the permeability of cell membrane to glucose
- B Increases the oxidation of glucose in the cells
- C Initiates the conversion of glycogen to glucose
- D Initiates the formation of hepatic glycogen from excess of glucose.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Initiates the conversion of glycogen to glucose
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Initiates the conversion of glycogen to glucose,
Insulin does not covert glycogen to glucose; instead, it promotes glycogen formation from glucose and enhances glucose uptake by cells. The hormone glucagon initiated the conversion of glycogen to glucose, increasing blood sugar levels.
