How does starvation affect hormones?

glucose (= dextrose)
Systemic starvation steadily lowers insulin, resulting in improved sensitivity to this hormone.

Growth hormone
After 5 days of starvation, growth hormone synthesis doubles. The interval starvation method also has results, but less. This effect is due to the fact that the insulin hormone produced when we eat blocks the production of growth hormone.

Adrenalin
Active production of adrenaline begins one day after the onset of starvation. After the second day of not eating, the metabolic rate increases by 3,6%, which is radically different from a sharp slowdown in metabolism with a low-calorie diet.
