Glucocorticoids do not:
Correct answer: D. Stimulate cellular uptake and utilization of amino acids
- A. Stimulate gluconeogenesis
- B. Cause lipolysis
- C. Cause proteolysis
- D. Stimulate cellular uptake and utilization of amino acids
Explanation
Lucocorticoids are steroids chemically. Cortisol is an example of glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis and inhibit cellular uptake and utilisation of amino acids.

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.
