4) Jacob has been working a much longer shift than he expected and is very hungry. He is slightly hypoglycemic; luckily, he has no pathology that prevents his body from reacting appropriately. Predict what hormonal changes can be expected in Jacob in response to his low blood glucose levels, the effect that hormone will have within the body, and the specific fuel source that his cells will utilize for their metabolic needs in response to this situation.
