I was on YouTube the other day, and I saw a poll asking this question. Somewhere close to 65% chose true, and I am a bit confused on why it is so controversial. I personally think the statement is true, but I want to know why this could be argued false.
The rest of this will be my reasoning for true:
Basics: I see energy here as referring to energy available for cellular use during a fasting/post-absorptive state. I see these energy storage molecules as triglycerides/fats (primarily), some glycogen, and some protein.
Insulin is a peptide hormone released from pancreatic cells in response to increased plasma glucose levels. Insulin binding to its receptor initiates a kinase cascade that ultimately promotes anabolic processes like lipogenesis, protein synthesis, and glycogenesis. This also translocates preexisting, vesicular GLUT4 transporters to the plasma membrane, allowing for an influx of glucose. I see how this may transiently increase metabolic processes and energy demand (because synthesis would require energy), but the final products of insulin signalling are the storage form of the major macromolecules.
I tried to find the answer in the comments of the original post, but the most liked comments were all saying that the answer was false. Please help me understand why/if my understanding is wrong.
