The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which hormone does not induce hyperglycemia, we will analyze the hormones mentioned and their effects on blood glucose levels. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand Hyperglycemia**: Hyperglycemia refers to an increased level of glucose in the blood. This condition can be induced by certain hormones. 2. **Identify the Hormones**: The question asks about hormones that induce hyperglycemia. The hormones we need to consider are: - Glucagon - Insulin - Thyroxine - Aldosterone - Glucocorticoids (like cortisol) 3. **Analyze Each Hormone**: - **Glucagon**: This hormone is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas and is known to increase blood glucose levels. Therefore, it induces hyperglycemia. - **Insulin**: This hormone is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas and lowers blood glucose levels. It is a hypoglycemic hormone and does not induce hyperglycemia. Thus, this is a potential answer. - **Thyroxine**: This hormone is produced by the thyroid gland and helps to regulate metabolism. It can increase blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of carbohydrates, thus inducing hyperglycemia. - **Aldosterone**: This hormone is secreted by the adrenal cortex and primarily regulates water and salt balance in the body. It does not have a direct role in carbohydrate metabolism or in increasing blood glucose levels, making it the correct choice for our question. - **Glucocorticoids (Cortisol)**: These hormones are involved in metabolism and can increase blood glucose levels, thus inducing hyperglycemia. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the hormone that does not induce hyperglycemia is **Aldosterone**. ### Final Answer: **Aldosterone** is the hormone that does not induce hyperglycemia.
