Exam 4 Flashcards
Insulin increases:
glycogen synthesis in the liver and skeletal muscle
Insulin stimulates:
fatty acid synthesis
Insulin promotes
Anabolic reactions
Glucagon promotes
Catabolic reactions
Epinephrine promotes
Catabolic reactions
Cortisol Promotes
Catabolic reactions
Glucagon metabolic responses
oppose those of insulin
Glucagon in non-fed states
prominent hormone
Epinephrine functions
neurotransmitter in the nervous system and stress hormone in the circulation
Release of cortisol
response to low blood glucose levels
cortisol stimulates
gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver
Cortisol vs Insulin skeletal muscle breakdown
Cortisol increases SM breakdown
vs
Insulin decreases SM breakdown
Growth Hormone “promotes”
both anabolic and catabolic responses (both in nature)
Growth hormone stimulates
Lypolysis and release fatty acids from visceral adipose tissue
Growth hormone increases
triacylglycerol uptake in the liver
