Strong Support
When mice are suddenly handled and stressed, their bodies quickly make certain energy fuels—like lactate and fatty acids—because their fight-or-flight system kicks in. This claim says that giving mice the same stress hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine) makes them produce those same fuels just as fast, proving it’s the hormones, not the stress itself, doing the work.

Impact of acute stress on murine metabolomics and metabolic flux
Cohort Study
Animal
2023 May 23The study showed that when mice are stressed, their bodies make a lot of lactate fast — and when scientists gave them drugs that act like stress hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine), they got the same result. So yes, those stress hormones are what cause the quick metabolic changes.
