Insulin differs from growth hormone in that it

1. stimulates lipoprotein lipase in vicinity of fat cells
2. increases the transport of amino acids across the cell membranes of muscles
3. increases mRNA/ribosome activity
4. stimulates hormone sensitive lipase in fat cells

Correct answer: stimulates lipoprotein lipase in vicinity of fat cells

Solution

Insulin promotes storage of energy by increasing lipoprotein lipase activity near adipose tissue, which helps fatty acids enter fat cells for triglyceride synthesis. Growth hormone has more anti-insulin, lipolytic effects, so it does not do this in the same way.
