Questions: Which hormone is actively involved in controlling hyperglycemia by escorting glucose to the cells? Select one: a. Epinephrine b. Glucagon c. Insulin d. Human growth hormone

The answer is the third one (C): Insulin.

Explanation for each option:

a. Epinephrine: This hormone, also known as adrenaline, is primarily involved in the body's fight-or-flight response. It increases blood glucose levels by promoting glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, which is the opposite of controlling hyperglycemia.

b. Glucagon: This hormone works to increase blood glucose levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver. It is not involved in reducing hyperglycemia.

c. Insulin: This hormone is responsible for lowering blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into the cells, thus controlling hyperglycemia. It is the primary hormone involved in reducing blood sugar levels.

d. Human growth hormone: This hormone primarily stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. It can have an effect on glucose metabolism but is not directly involved in controlling hyperglycemia by escorting glucose to the cells.

Summary: Insulin is the hormone actively involved in controlling hyperglycemia by escorting glucose to the cells.
