← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism contributes to increased glycogen synthase activity during arousal from hibernation in mammals?
A)Insulin-stimulated cellular glucose uptake✓
B)Increased glucagon release from pancreatic cells
C)Increased fatty acid oxidation rate
D)Decreased circulating cortisol levels
💡 Explanation
During arousal from hibernation, shivering thermogenesis requires rapid ATP generation, which is supported by insulin signaling increases cellular glucose uptake which activates glycogen synthase, promoting ATP stability. Therefore insulin stimulation aids ATP generation rather than glucagon increasing glycogen breakdown or decreased cortisol decreasing cellular glucose availability.
