Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Glucocorticoids are released from adrenal cortex during stress, and increase hearth rate, blood glucose, respiration and muscle tension in response. It is also known as glucocorticoids, as it plays a major role in balancing the blood glucose by converting fat into glucose by gluconeogenesis.
