Question

Which hormone can stimulate lipolysis?

Answer 1

Lipolysis:

1. Lipolysis is the metabolic process that hydrolyzes lipid triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids.
2. It is commonly found in fat adipocytes and is utilized to galvanize stored energy all through fasting or exercise.
3. fasting-induced lipolysis is mainly activated by catecholamines, especially norepinephrine, though other hormone levels also play a role.
4. Cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone (GH), and adrenal gland hormone are among them.

A hormone that stimulates lipolysis:

1. Insulin is the most crucial regulatory hormone for lipolysis; lipolysis can only take place when low levels of insulin action, which take place during fasting, are present.
2. Caffeine and calcium, for example, are dietary molecules that stimulate lipolysis.
