Options
- AA-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
- BA-2, B-3, C-4, D-1
- CA-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
- DA-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
Correct answer
D. A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
Step-by-step solution
Insulin is a hypoglycemic hormone that acts mainly on hepatocytes and adipocytes to enhance cellular glucose uptake (A-2). Glucagon is a hyperglycemic hormone that acts mainly on hepatocytes to stimulate glycogenolysis (B-3). Glucocorticoids (like cortisol) are involved in carbohydrate metabolism and stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis (C-1). Mineralocorticoids (like aldosterone) regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in our body (D-4). Therefore, the correct matching is A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
