Epinephrine Has a Longer Term Effect on Metabolism Than Does

Question

Epinephrine has a longer term effect on metabolism than does glucagon.

Accepted Answer

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, typically has a rapid but short-term effect on metabolism, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels quickly but for a shorter duration. Glucagon, on the other hand, has a more prolonged effect on increasing blood glucose levels by promoting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver.
