Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin promotes the uptake of fatty acids into adipose tissue and muscle, hence increased levels of insulin would not result in increased blood fatty acid levels. On the other hand, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol promote the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, which increases blood fatty acid levels. Growth hormone also increases fatty acid mobilization from adipose tissue, but to a lesser extent than glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol.
