Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term glucocorticoid refers to those steroidal hormones that have direct effects on carbohydrate metabolism. These hormones increase blood glucose concentration by promoting gluconeogenesis in the liver and by decreasing uptake of glucose into muscle cells, adipose cells, and lymphatic cells. Glucocorticoids are not capable of fat storage.
