Cortisol:
Preparation for stress response -
- lipolysis
- protein breakdown
- gluconeogenesis
- glycogen storage
Adrenaline:
Flight or fight response
- glycogenolysis
- gluconeogensis
- lipolysis
Thyroxine:
- glycolysis
- cholesterol synthesis
- glucose uptake
- protein synthesis
- sensitises tissues to adrenaline
Growth hormone:
- gluconeogenesis
- glycogen synthesis
- lipolysis
- protein synthesis
- decreased glucose use
