Question

Select the incorrect statement among the following given options.

• A. Catecholamines stimulate the breakdown of glycogen resulting in an increased concentration of glucose in blood
• B. Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis
• C. Glucagon inhibits the process of gluconeogenesis which also contributes to hyperglycemia
• D. Insulin enhances the cellular glucose uptake and utilization

Answer 1

The correct option is C Glucagon inhibits the process of gluconeogenesis which also contributes to hyperglycemia

Glucagon stimulates the process of gluconeogenesis which also contributes to hyperglycemia. Glucagon reduces the cellular glucose uptake and utilization. Thus, glucagon is a hyperglycemic hormone.
