Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucocorticoids have multiple effects on general peripheral tissues, including increasing the conversion of amino acids to pyruvate (a process called amino acid catabolism), increasing gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources), and increasing glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen into glucose). Therefore, all of the answer choices are correct.
