the liver and muscle cells, epinephrine stimulates the release of glucose from glycogen by inhibiting glycogen synthesis and stimulating glycogen breakdown. Outline the signaling events that occur after epinephrine binds to its receptor and the resultant increase in the concentration of intracellular cAMP and release of glucose.
