Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that lowers blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells and promoting its storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles.

Answer: E 
 Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, increase blood glucose levels by promoting gluconeogenesis (the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) in the liver and reducing glucose uptake by peripheral tissues.

Note: None of the other hormones listed specifically lower blood glucose levels.
