High-Yield Explanation
Ketogenesis occurs in insulin deficiency. Principal Actions of Insulin: Rapid (seconds) Increased transpo of glucose, amino acids, and K+ into insulin-sensitive cells Intermediate (minutes) Stimulation of protein synthesis Inhibition of protein degradation Activation of glycolytic enzymes and glycogen synthase Inhibition of phosphorylase and gluconeogenic enzymes Delayed (hours) Increase in mRNAs for lipogenic and other enzymes Ref: Barrett K.E., Barman S.M., Boitano S., Brooks H.L.
