Epinephrine (adrenalin)increases blood glucose by

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine stimulates the hepatic conversion of glycogen into glucose through a process called glycogenolysis. This increases blood glucose levels quickly, providing energy for the body. While epinephrine can also increase transport of glucose into cells and stimulate gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources), these processes are not the primary way in which it increases blood glucose levels. Additionally, epinephrine does not convert fatty acids into glucose.
