• A; Insulin, B: Glucocorticoids
• Insulin increases GLUT4-mediated glucose uptake (especially in muscle/adipose) and promotes utilization/storage.
• Glucocorticoids (e.g., cortisol) raise blood glucose by promoting gluconeogenesis in liver and are catabolic in muscle/fat ( ↑ proteolysis and lipolysis).
