Cortisol brings about a change in blood glucose level mainly by its production from proteins and by _.
Correct answer: A. Glucagon
- A. Glucagon
- B. Estrogen
- C. Insulin
- D. Progesterone
Explanation
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that increases blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of Glycogen (stored glucose) in the liver and the production of Glucose from amino acids in the liver. Cortisol increases the function of glucagon to convert glycogen into glucose, increasing blood glucose levels.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
