Key context: carbohydrate metabolism hormones Flashcards
Insulin and glucagon
protein based
cause competing outcomes in a cell thats responsive to them :
Either response to high or low blood sugar. High = use it use it or store it
low = make it or use it
epinephrin and norepinephrin
molecule based
nor = missing something (methyl group)
extracellular hormones
bind to cell surface receptors to cause responses….
typically derived from blood
norepin/epin
fight or flight
adenylate cyclase vs PI3K
AC responsive to glucagon and epinephrin. Two different receptors for each that will bind to and activate AC 2nd messenger system
PI3K responsive to insulin
antagonist vs agonist
antagonist works against.
Low BS and scared = epin and glucagon are agonists
agonist works together.
