It directly influences the availability of glucose for glycolysis! ATP is catabolically consumed to begin glycolysis. How about the case of adrenaline? Does adrenaline not increase the availability of oxygen? This is semantic confusion that the question leaves open to interpretation, hence the preface. But certainly one can reason that metabolism, defined as the total set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms, excludes insulin as a participant! | |

Counterexample: insulin , Isnt the participation means, being the substrate or enzyme, Insulin does signal transduction by kinases , which ultimately leads to GLUT 4 to insert in cell membrane, this is isn't metabolism , anbolic or catabolic, as the signal transduction only lead to influx of glucose, not in metabolism of glucose, in short i am not able to digest that signal transduction is also a paraticpitation in metabolism, it is facilitating metabolism | |
