(a)
To determine: The effect of insulin on glycolysis.
Introduction: Glycolysis is the basic pathway that is used for
(b)
To determine: The effect of insulin on gluconeogenesis.
Introduction: Production of sugar molecules in the body is called gluconeogenesis. This sugar is used for energy production and different catabolic reactions. Liver is the main site where the process of gluconeogenesis takes place.
(c)
To determine: The effect of insulin on glycogenesis.
Introduction: Glycogen is a metabolic pathway that is involved in converting glucose in to glycogen for storage purpose. Glycogen produced by this process is stored in the cells of liver and muscles. Process of glycogenesis is activated when blood sugar level goes high.
(d)
To determine: The effect of insulin on lipogenesis.
Introduction: Lipogenesis is the process of formation of lipids using the extra sugar that is present in the blood. This fat produced by the process of lipogenesis is stored in the body for further use. Lipogenesis contributes only a small share to the total body fat content.
(e)
To determine: The effect of insulin on protein synthesis.
Introduction: Protein synthesis is the process of formation of functional proteins. Presence of all the required materials in adequate amount is very important for synthesis of properly functioning protein molecules.
