Emptying the Bank Account, Energy Mobilization During a Stressor
With the onset of the stressful emergency, you secrete glucocorticoids, which block the transport of nutrients into fat cells. This counteracts the effects of any Insulin still floating around. (Location 1033)
Stress hormones Glucocorticoidss, Glucagon, Epinephrine, and Norepinephrine. These cause triglycerides to be broken down in the fat cells and, as a result, free fatty acids and glycerol pour into the circulatory system. The same hormones ==trigger the degradation of glycogen to Glucose== in cells throughout the body, and the glucose is then flushed into the bloodstream. These hormones also cause ==Protein in non-exercising muscle to be converted back to individual amino acids.== (Location 1038)

⇒ Aminosäure, amino acid
Amino acids are not a very good source of energy, but glucose is. Your body shunts the ==circulating amino acids to the Liver==, where they are converted to glucose.(Location 1042)
Glucocorticoids and the other hormones of the stress-response also act to block energy uptake into muscles and into fat tissue. Somehow the individual muscles that are exercising during the emergency have a means to override this blockade and to grab all the nutrients floating around in the circulation. The net result is that you shunt energy from fat and from non-exercising muscle to the exercising ones. (Location 1048)
