Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine stimulates glycogenolysis by activating glycogen phosphorylase, leading to the breakdown of glycogen into glucose. It also activates the enzyme phosphorylase kinase, which then activates glycogen phosphorylase. Epinephrine does not stimulate glycogen synthase, which is responsible for glycogen synthesis. Epinephrine also stimulates glycolysis, but not by 2000-fold; this statement is an exaggeration. Additionally, epinephrine activates glycogenolysis in both the liver and muscles.
