Question

The main glucocorticoid is _______.
A) epinephrine
B) mineralocorticoid
C) cortisol
D) norepinephrine

Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid hormone, secreted by the adrenal gland in response to stress. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are not glucocorticoids, they are catecholamines. Mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, regulate electrolyte balance rather than glucose metabolism.
