Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stress response typically involves the release of hormones such as glucagon and cortisol, which promote the breakdown of glucose and the release of glucose from the liver into the bloodstream. Insulin, on the other hand, promotes the movement of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, which can lower blood sugar levels. Therefore, insulin would not contribute to hyperglycemia during the stress response. Insulin resistance, however, could contribute to hyperglycemia as it reduces the ability of insulin to effectively lower blood sugar levels. Insulin is responsible for decreasing blood glucose levels. During the stress response, insulin levels decrease and therefore do not contribute to hyperglycemia. Glucagon, cortisol, and insulin resistance all contribute to hyperglycemia during the stress response.
