The Well-Fed State: Insulin-Dependent Enzyme Regulation
About this episode
This episode discusses how insulin affects enzyme activity in the well-fed state through various mechanisms.
In the well-fed state, insulin will affect enzyme activity through at least 3 distinct mechanisms: 1. Allosteric regaulation; 2. Covalent modification, and 3. Upregulation of enzymes. These effects will activate both glycolysis and glycogen synthesis.
