Select the INCORRECT statement about cortisol.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex.
It stimulates gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis, which leads to an increase in the blood glucose level, not a decrease.
It also acts as an immunosuppressive agent, produces anti-inflammatory reactions, and helps the body manage stress and face emergencies.
Therefore, the statement that it causes a decrease in blood glucose level is incorrect.
Answer: It causes decrease in blood glucose level
