Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones that are often released in response to stress and can have profound effects on many tissues throughout the body. Glucocorticoids are so named because of their observed effects on glucose metabolism in the body, though the effects are tissue-specific. In general, these hormones work to increase the supply of blood glucose, while preventing many peripheral tissues from using glucose. In muscle and adipose tissue, glucocorticoids act to oppose the effects of insulin, promote glycogenolysis, and inhibit glucose uptake. In hepatocytes, glucocorticoids promote gluconeogenesis. These responses maintain blood sugar levels to supply the brain with sufficient energy. Predict which of the following tissue responses are also a result of glucocorticoid signaling. (select two answers)
a. Skeletal myocytes have higher expression of Glut4 at the cell surface.
b. Skeletal myocytes have lower expression of Glut4 at the cell surface.
c. Erythrocytes decrease glycogen synthesis.
d. Erythrocytes increase glycogen synthesis.
e. Adipocytes decrease lipid breakdown.
f. Adipocytes increase lipid breakdown.

Sleep paralysis. so this is something i’ve dealt with for most of my life (i’m 15) and i’m pretty sure my first sp was when i was 9. and it’s usually the usual i’m not able to move anything except for my eyes, and it’s so hard to breathe (feels like someone’s pushing hard on my chest) and then i hear someone whispering and then i can move and then have to essentially wake up because i won’t be able to go back to sleep. but recently. and i mean it’s happened twice now and it’s not even been a week. where i suddenly wake up like a noise woke me, but then soon realize i’m not able to move and i sleep on my side that doesn’t face the wall and i have a desk that is on the same wall as my bed but farther off in the room. and i see myself sitting in the computer chair. like me. but as soon as i see (myself) it spins around and faces me and just stares at me for a good 2-3 minutes. and then it is that i realize that it’s got cold eyes instead of my normal eyes. and for one it’s absolutely creepy to be able to see yourself move without you ya know and secondly i kinda feel threatened to be honest. it’s happened 2 times now and i noticed the 2nd time (me) stared at my paralyzed body for about a minute longer then the 1st time. i just wonder if anyone else experienced anything like this because i’ve never had this happen before. and i’ve told my close family and they just shrugged it off and said i’m just having bad dreams again, but my computer chair is facing my bed when i come back into my room? and i know usually these are hallucinations but nothing’s changed in my life to cause a sudden anxiety or stress spell so i don’t know. and i know what bad dreams feel like and sp is waay worse then a bad dream. you can’t be awake to be having a bad dream
