Which of the Following is NOT an Effect of Epinephrine

Question

Which of the following is NOT an effect of epinephrine?
A) increase ketone production
B) stimulate protein synthesis
C) stimulate lipolysis
D) increase blood fatty acid levels
E) stimulate gluconeogenesis

Accepted Answer

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, primarily prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses, increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the heart, pupil dilation, and blood sugar. It does not stimulate protein synthesis; instead, it stimulates processes like lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, and increases ketone production and blood fatty acid levels to provide energy rapidly to the body.
