Secretion of glucocorticoids results in

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticoids stimulate lipolysis, which results in greater availability of fatty acids as sources of energy.

Answer: B
 Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, the conversion of protein into glucose, resulting in increased blood glucose levels. Therefore, decreased conversion of protein into glucose would not be a result of the secretion of glucocorticoids.

The other answer choices are incorrect: 
A) Glucocorticoids have a vasoconstrictive effect, resulting in increased blood flow rather than decreased. 
D) Glucocorticoids have a suppressive effect on plasma levels of sex steroid hormones rather than an increase. 
E) Glucocorticoids can cause a transient increase in blood pressure rather than a reduction.
