Understand Metabolism And Hormones

Adrenaline

Breaks down glycogen (stored glucose) for Energy; Mobilizes fat for energy forms sugar from fats and proteins

Cortisol

Mobilizes fat for energy forms sugar from fats and proteins breaks down protein for energy

Estrogen

Enhance HDL blood levels stimulates female pattern of fat deposit

Ghrelin

Hunger hormone regulates appetite, increases weight lack of sleep

Glucagon

Breaks down glycogen (stored glucose) for energy forms sugar from fats and proteins

Growth Hormone

Stimulates amino acid, uptake stimulates protein synthesis, breaks down fats for energy forms sugars from fats and proteins

Insulin

Lowers blood sugar levels, Catalyzes oxidation of glucose into ATP (energy), helps convert glucose to glycosen. Converts glucose to fat, stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle

Leptin

Satiety hormone, Regulates appetite

Testosterone
