The metabolic functions of insulin include all of the following except: 
Select and explain. 
A. Increased glycogen synthesis in liver, B. Decrease hepatic gluconeogenesis, C. Increase lipoprotein lipase activity, D. Increase transport of glucose into the deep tissue
C: Increase lipoprotein lipase activity
Answer: C: Increase lipoprotein lipase activity 
Explanation: Insulin is secreted from the beta cells of the pancreas. 
It lowers the blood glucose levels. 
It stimulates glucose transport into muscle and adipose tissue.
It stimulates the activity of glycogen synthase thus it promotes glycogen storage in the liver.
It inhibits hepatic glucose production by decreasing glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. 
It also inhibits lipoprotein lipase thus decreases hydrolysis of triglycerides in the adipose tissue.
