Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Stimulation of gluconeogenesis in the liver results in the synthesis of glucose from non-hexose substrates, such as amino acids and lipids in carnivores and certain herbivores. Enhancing the expression of enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis is the metabolic function of glucocorticoids (cortisol and corticosterone). Thyroid hormones stimulate carbohydrate metabolism, including enhancement of insulin dependent entry of glucose into cells and increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis to generate free glucose
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'
