Answer : d
Hints & Solutions
(d) Glucagon is associated with hyperglycemia. Insulin acts on hepatocytes and adipocytes and is associated with hypoglycemia. Glucocorticoid stimulates gluconeogenesis, so increase blood sugar level. Glycogenolysis occurs when the body, which prefers glucose as an energy source, needs energy. When glycogen stores are depleted and glucose is required by the body, the liver initiates the breakdown of glycogen to produce glucose in a process called glycogenolysis. Gluconeogenesis is a separate process that produces glucose from amino acids, lactate, and glycerol.
