The Claim
Acute stress triggers a two-phase metabolic response in mice, consisting of an immediate phase (within 2 minutes) characterized by the release of muscle-derived lactate and adipose-derived fatty acids, followed by a delayed phase (15–30 minutes) involving hepatic glucose production via gluconeogenesis.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When a mouse gets suddenly scared or stressed, its body first releases energy chemicals from muscles and fat within two minutes, and then about 15 to 30 minutes later, its liver starts making sugar to keep the energy flowing.

Acute stress triggers a two-phase metabolic response in mice: an immediate phase (within 2 min) of muscle-derived lactate and adipose-derived fatty acid release, followed by a delayed phase (15–30 min) of hepatic glucose production via gluconeogenesis.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Impact of acute stress on murine metabolomics and metabolic flux
The study shows that when mice get stressed, their bodies quickly release a lot of lactate — which matches part of the claim. It doesn't check the later glucose production phase, but what it does show supports the first part of the claim.
