Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin is the hormone that controls the absorptive phase of metabolism by promoting glucose uptake by cells and storage of excess glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles, as well as promoting the storage of fat in adipose tissue. CCK (A) is mainly involved in the regulation of digestive enzymes, while leptin (B) is involved in appetite regulation and energy balance. Glucagon (C) plays a role in the post-absorptive phase of metabolism by promoting the breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose into the bloodstream. Glycerol (E) is a component of triglycerides, which are stored in adipose tissue and can be broken down for energy during the post-absorptive phase. However, it is not a key factor that controls the absorptive phase.
