- BNo effect
- CIncreases
- DNo effect on glucose concentration in blood but increases the breakdown of glycogen
Correct answer
C. Increases
Step-by-step solution
Catecholamines also stimulate the breakdown of glycogen resulting in an increased concentration of glucose in blood . In addition, they also stimulate the breakdown of lipids and proteins.Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis; and inhibit cellular uptake and utilisation of amino acids. Cortisol is also involved in maintaining the cardio-vascular system as well as the kidney functions. Glucocorticoids, particularly cortisol, produces anti-inflammatory reactions and suppresses the immun
