Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, are secreted by the adrenal gland in response to stress and promote the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate substrates, such as amino acids and fatty acids. Glucagon is secreted by the pancreas and also promotes the synthesis of glucose, but it is not directly involved in the stress response. Epinephrine and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) are also involved in the stress response but do not promote the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate substrates. Thyroxine is not directly involved in the stress response or glucose metabolism.
