All of the following hormones accelerate the release of FFA from adipose tissue, EXCEPT:

A
Epinephrine
B
Insulin
C
Norepinephrine
D
Vasopressin
High-Yield Explanation
Principal action of insulin in adipose tissue is to inhibit the activity of hormone-sensitive lipase, reducing the release not only of FFA but also of glycerol. Hormones that accelerate the release of FFA from adipose tissue include, Epinephrine Norepinephrine Glucagon Adrenocoicotropic hormone (ACTH)- and -melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Growth hormone (GH) Vasopressin For an optimal effect, most of these lipolytic processes require the presence of glucocoicoids and thyroid hormones. These hormones act in a facilitatory or permissive capacity with respect to other lipolytic endocrine factors. Ref: Botham K.M., Mayes P.A. (2011). Chapter 25. Lipid Transpo & Storage. In D.A.
