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).
They, along with glucagon (see above) are called âstressâ or âgluco-counter-regulatoryâ hormones â which means they make the blood sugar rise. Epinephrine (adrenaline) is released from nerve endings and the adrenals, and acts directly on the liver to promote sugar production (via glycogenolysis). Epinephrine also promotes the breakdown and release of fat nutrients that travel to the liver and that are converted into sugar and ketones.
