Question

The hormones that have 'anti inflammatory' effect are the:

• A. Thyroxin
• B. Insulin
• C. Glucocorticoids
• D. Auxins

Answer 1

The correct option is C Glucocorticoids

Thyroxin is secreted from thyroid gland. It regulates general growth and development and controls carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism.
Insulin is secreted in pancreatic islets. It controls carbohydrate metabolism and maintains glucose level in the blood.
Glucocorticoids have antiinflammatory effect. They are part of the feedback mechanism in the immune system that turns immune activity (inflammation) down.
Auxins play vital role in several growth and behavioral processes in the plant's life cycle and are essential for plant body development.
