ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Initiating the conversion of glycogen to glucose’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin exerts direct control of gluconeogenesis by acting on the liver, but also indirectly affects gluconeogenesis by acting on other tissues. The direct effect of insulin was demonstrated in fasted dogs, where portal plasma insulin suppressed hepatic glucose production.

Detailed explanation-3: -The function which was not performed by the insulin is to Initiate the conversion of glycogen to glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gluconeogenesis does not include the conversion of fructose or galactose into glucose in the liver or the generation of glucose from glycogen via glycogenolysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -4.1. Role of Insulin in the Regulation of Liver Function. The liver is the primary organ of insulin action. 4.2. Role of Insulin in the Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Function. 4.3. Role of Insulin in the Regulation of Adipose Tissue Function. 4.4. Other Major Physiological Roles. 15-Jun-2021
