Which of the following hormones is produced under the condition of stress which stimulate glycogenolysis in the liver of human beings?

  1. Thyroxine
  2. Insulin
  3. Adrenaline
  4. Estradiol

Answer

(3) Adrenaline

Solution

Under stress (emergency, 'fight or flight'), the adrenal medulla secretes adrenaline (epinephrine).

As per NCERT, adrenaline and noradrenaline increase the breakdown of glycogen (glycogenolysis), raising the blood glucose level.

Insulin lowers blood glucose; thyroxine controls the basal metabolic rate; estradiol is a female sex hormone.
