Trivia. 1  In the book, Oh told Tip to call him J. Lo, thinking it was a common name. Tip constantly refered to him by name, with everyone assuming she meant the actress. 2  Despite being a protagonist, he bares a slight resemblance to Gallaxhar, as both are aliens who have stretchy arms as well as squid-like feet.
Glycogenolysis, process by which glycogen, the primary carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals, is broken down into glucose to provide immediate energy and to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting. Glycogenolysis occurs primarily in the liver and is stimulated by the hormones glucagon and epinephrine (adrenaline).
The key glucocorticoid in humans is cortisone, which is released by the adrenal glands. Cortisone is a glucocorticoid that stimulates the conversion of proteins to glucose in the liver. A glucocorticoid is any one of a group of steroid hormones, such as cortisone, that are produced by the adrenal glands in the kidney and which control carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, and have anti-inflammatory activity.
