Study Notes
Effects of Hormones on Carbohydrate Metabolism
-
Glucagon Source: Pancreatic α cells
-
Glucagon Primary Target: Liver
-
Glucagon Effects: Increases cyclic-AMP, increases Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, increases Gluconeogenesis, increases Glycogen breakdown
-
Epinephrine Source: Adrenal medulla
-
Epinephrine Primary Target: Muscle > Liver
-
Epinephrine Effects: Increases cyclic-AMP, increases Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, increases Gluconeogenesis, increases Glycogen breakdown, (↑ in muscle)
-
Insulin Source: Pancreatic β cells
-
Insulin Primary Target: Muscle, liver, adipose tissue
-
Insulin Effects: Decreases cyclic-AMP, decreases Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, decreases Gluconeogenesis, decreases Glycogen breakdown (↓ in muscle)
