Metabolism is regulated by hormones. Insulin lowers blood glucose after eating by promoting storage and uptake. During fasting, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol trigger gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis to restore sugar levels and provide energy sources. Other tissues like live and muscle switch to using fatty acids for energy, thus sparing glucose use during fasting.
