Increased insulin secretion immediately following a meal will result in increased

A) lipid catabolism.
B) glycogenolysis.
C) gluconeogenesis.
D) glycogen synthesis.
E) release of glucose into the circulatory system.

Glycogenolysis

Glycogenolysis is the metabolic process of breaking down glycogen into glucose, which serves as an important energy source for the body during physical activity or between meals.

Gluconeogenesis

The metabolic process by which organisms produce glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates such as amino acids and glycerol, especially significant during periods of fasting or intense exercise.

Glycogen Synthesis

The process of converting glucose into glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscle cells for energy.

  • Familiarize oneself with the contribution of insulin and glucagon towards maintaining appropriate glucose levels in the bloodstream.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Increased insulin secretion promotes the uptake of glucose by liver and muscle cells, where it is stored as glycogen, hence increasing glycogen synthesis.
