Vedclass · Answer

(C) The thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormones (like $T_3$ and $T_4$),which are iodinated amino acid derivatives. The adrenal gland secretes various hormones,including glucocorticoids (like cortisol) and mineralocorticoids (like aldosterone),which are steroid hormones,as well as catecholamines (like adrenaline),which are amino acid derivatives. However,both thyroid hormones and certain adrenal hormones (like glucocorticoids) play a significant role in increasing glucose metabolism in the body. Thyroid hormones increase the basal metabolic rate and glucose utilization,while glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis and increase blood glucose levels. Therefore,the common functional similarity is that they both increase glucose metabolism.
