Step-by-step solution
Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis, and inhibit cellular uptake and utilization of amino acids. Androgenic steroids secreted by the adrenal cortex play a role in the growth of axial hair, pubic hair, and facial hair during puberty. Catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline) increase the heart beat, the strength of heart contraction, and the rate of respiration. Erythropoietin is a peptide hormone produced by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney which stimulates erythropoiesi
