Gluconeogenesis is controlled by

Options

A. Cortisol
B. Corticosterone
C. Thyroxin
D. All the above

Answer

D

Explanation

The hormone promotes gluconeogenesis are:
* Corticosterone and cortisol: From zona fasiculata of adrenal cortex. On stimulation of cortisol liver cells may convert certain amino acid or lactic acid to glucose which neurons and other cells can use for ATP production.
* Thyroxin: From thyroid gland increases BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) by increase lipolysis which promotes gluconeogenesis.
* Glucagon: From `alpha` cells of Islets of Langerhans of pancreas increase blood glucose level by gluconeogenesis
