Solution

The incorrect statement is:

c. Epinephrine is released during high blood glucose levels to trigger lipogenesis in adipocytes.

Explanation: Epinephrine is actually released during low blood glucose levels to trigger lipolysis (breakdown of fats) in adipocytes, not lipogenesis (formation of fats). When blood glucose levels are high, insulin is released to trigger lipogenesis.
