Study Notes
Effects of Hormones on Carbohydrate Metabolism
-
Glucagon:
- Source: Pancreatic α cells
- Primary Target: Liver
- Effects:
- Increase in cyclic-AMP
- Increase in Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate
- Increase in gluconeogenesis
- Increase in glycogen breakdown
-
Epinephrine:
- Source: Adrenal medulla
- Primary Target: Muscle > Liver
- Effects:
- Increase in cyclic-AMP
- Increase in gluconeogenesis in the liver
- Increase in glycogen breakdown in liver and muscle
-
Insulin:
- Source: Pancreatic β cells
- Primary Target: Muscle, liver, adipose tissue
- Effects:
- Decrease in gluconeogenesis
- Decrease in glycogen breakdown
