Question

Select the odd one with respect to antagonistic pair of hormones.

• A. Insulin and glucagon
• B. Calcitonin and PTH
• C. ANF and aldosterone
• D. Cortisol and glucagon

Answer 1

The correct option is D Cortisol and glucagon

Glucagon is a peptide hormone and plays an important role in
maintaining the normal blood glucose levels. The adrenal cortex secretes many hormones, commonly called as corticoids. Both cortisol, particularly glucocorticoid and glucagon stimulate gluconeogenesis. They are not antagonistic.
