Which of the following hormones has a catabolic effect?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that increases blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle, as well as stimulating gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources). This catabolic effect is opposite to the anabolic effect of insulin, which promotes glycogen synthesis and lipid storage. Secretin and cholecystokinin are hormones that regulate digestive processes, but they do not have significant catabolic effects. Therefore, the best choice is A) Glucagon.
