Hi, I'm having trouble remembering the different pathways of glucagon, cortisol, and insulin. It's hard to remember which one has gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, proteolysis, protein synthesis, lipolysis, lipid synthesis etc.
I've tried to just memorize the effects but that hasn't been working. I'm afraid I may be lacking understanding of the fundamentals of these hormone pathways.
Does anyone have a good explanation or easy way of differentiating and remembering the pathways?
Any help would be appreciated! There are so many confusing questions on step 1 where they ask which metabolites increase or decrease in various endocrine diseases.
