Which of the following pathways would be operating significantly when insulin is

Question

Which of the following pathways would be operating significantly when insulin is much higher? For each path listed, note whether it would be operating at a high rate in this situation or not and describe the regulatory scheme by which the pathway would be turned on for one of the pathways operating significantly.

Glycogen synthesis in the muscle

Fatty acid oxidation in the muscle

Pentose phosphate pathway in adipose tissue

Fatty acid synthesis in the liver

Deoxynucleotide biosynthesis in the liver

Citric acid cycle in the muscle

Non-essential amino acid biosynthesis in the liver

Glycolysis in the muscle

Please answer straightforwardly as possible and if you do not know the answer for sure 100%, please, please, please do not answer! I need all the points I can get. :)

Explanation / Answer

Glycogen synthesis in the muscle: Triggers or stimulates insulin - higher

Fatty acid oxidation in the muscle: insulin is inhibited - no insulin

Pentose phosphate pathway in adipose tissue: no insulin

Fatty acid synthesis in the liver: higher insulin.

Deoxynucleotide biosynthesis in the liver: no insulin.

Citric acid cycle in the muscle: no insulin.

Non-essential amino acid biosynthesis in the liver: no insulin.

Glycolysis in the muscle: no insulin.

* Higher - insulin is triggered; No insulin - insulin pathway is turned off.
