The mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue during stress would require the involvement of all but which of the following?
A) hormone-sensitive lipase
B) plasma albumin
C) epinephrine
D) apolipoprotein C II
E) cAMP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apolipoprotein C II is involved in the transport of triglycerides from chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), but not in the mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue during stress. Hormone-sensitive lipase breaks down triglycerides to release fatty acids, which are then transported to other tissues bound to plasma albumin. Epinephrine and cAMP stimulate hormone-sensitive lipase.
