Identify the correct set of hormones involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
• Insulin → lowers blood glucose (promotes glucose uptake & storage as glycogen).
• Glucagon → increases blood glucose (glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis).
• Epinephrine (adrenaline) → raises blood glucose quickly during stress ("fight or flight").
• Glucocorticoids (like cortisol) → increase blood glucose by stimulating gluconeogenesis and reducing glucose uptake in tissues.
• Parathormone → regulates calcium, not carbohydrate metabolism.
• Calcitonin → regulates calcium, not carbohydrate metabolism.
• Norepinephrine has minor role compared to epinephrine; melatonin regulates circadian rhythm, not carbohydrate metabolism.
