Select the correct statement.

1. (a) Glucagon is associated with hypoglycemia.
2. (b) Insulin acts on pancreatic cells and adipocytes.
3. (c) Insulin is associated with hyperglycemia.
4. (d) Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis.

Correct answer: (d) Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis.

Solution

Glucocorticoids increase blood glucose partly by stimulating gluconeogenesis in the liver. The other choices are incorrect because glucagon is linked to hyperglycemia, insulin lowers blood glucose, and insulin primarily acts on target tissues like muscle and adipose rather than pancreatic cells.
