Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Glucocorticoids like cortisol are mainly involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis. These inhibit cellular uptake and utilization of amino acids. Cortisol also helps in maintaining the cardiovascular system and the kidney functions. GCs (particularly cortisol) produce anti-inflammatory reactions and also suppress the immune response. Cortisol increases RBC production.
