Glucagon and cortisol increase lipolysis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon and cortisol are hormones that increase the breakdown of stored fat (lipolysis) in adipose tissue, as part of the body's response to energy demand or stress. This process releases free fatty acids into the bloodstream for use by other tissues, such as muscle or liver, as a source of fuel. Therefore, high levels of glucagon and cortisol are associated with increased lipolysis and elevated levels of circulating fatty acids.
