Ahormone that promotes gluconeogenesis in the liver is

a) aldosterone.
b) erythropoietin.
c) thymosin.
d) cortisol.
e) parathormone.

The correct answer is: D) cortisol.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone released in response to stress and low blood-glucose concentration. So, its function is to increase blood sugar levels and it does that through gluconeogenesis in liver.

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic process of glucose production from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as glucogenic amino acids or glycerol.

Gluconeogenesis is a regulation process that maintains homeostasis by avoiding states with low levels of glucose (hypoglycemia).

A. The pituitary gland produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which stimulates the kidneys to reduce the loss of water in urine.
