Epinephine is released in response to stress, and is a "fight-or-flight" hormone. Which metabolic pathways does epinephrine stimulate? (A) glycolysis in muscle (B) lipolysis in adipose tissue (C) gluconeogenesis in liver (D) glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) (E) glycogenolysis in liver and musce

Answer: Option E

Glycogenolysis in liver and muscles

Explanation:

This involves the breakdown of stored up glycogen to glucose this increasing the levels of glucose in the bloodstream. There is also an increase in circulating level of free fatty acids. Thus this extra free fart acids and glucose can be utilized when in danger or when stressed as fuel increasing awareness.
