Hormone that stimulates gluconeogenesis is:

A
Glucagon
B
Epinephrine
C
None of the above
D
Both of the above
High-Yield Explanation
Ans:D.)Both of the Above. Glucagon and epinephrine, hormones that are responsive to a decrease in blood glucose, inhibit glycolysis and stimulate gluconeogenesis in the liver by increasing the concentration of cAMP. This in turn activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase, leading to the phosphorylation and inactivation of pyruvate kinase. They also affect the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and therefore glycolysis and gluconeogenesis Ref: Harper 28thedition, chapter 20.
