how do the hormones (insulin,glucagon,epnephrine and cortisone) regulate metabolism? what are the roles of enzymes or vitamines
Answers
Insulin is an anabolic hormone.It stimulates glycogenesis, lipogenesis,glycolysis and inhibits glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Glucagon has effects exactly opposite to insulin.
Epinephrine increases heart rate and the blood flow to the muscles
Cortisol is the most important hormone in stress.
These hormones stimulate some processes and inhibits some other processes, thus controlling the metabolism.
Enzymes are bio catalysts, I.e. they catalyze the biochemical reactions so that the rate of those reactions increases manyfold.
Vitamins are the essential micronutrients which help in the synthesis of many other molecules like red blood cells , coagulation factors etc.
