TBR page 45 # 12
“Which of the effects can be attributed to the hormones released by sympathetic nervous system stimulation of the adrenal cortex”?
One of the INCORRECT answers: Storage of glucose in the liver
I thought cortisol stimulation causes the liver to make glycogen (I think I saw that in a TPR problem once).
In addition Silverthorn’s Physio textbook says “Cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis in the liver. Some glucose produced in the liver is released into the blood, and the rest is stored as glycogen. As a result, cortisol increases blood glucose concentrations.”
So is TBR wrong?
