Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticoids are hormones that stimulate the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, increase blood sugar levels, suppress the immune system, and aid in fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. The other options (aldosterone, insulin, thyroxin, and parathyroid hormone) are not glucocorticoids.
