Adrenaline binds to liver cell receptors to activate glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, inhibit glycolysis, and stimulate glucagon release while suppressing insulin, thereby increasing glucose for respiration.
This card describes adrenaline's process: it binds to liver cells, activating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis while inhibiting glycolysis, also promoting glucagon secretion and inhibiting insulin secretion to increase available glucose for respiration.
