The answer is the first one: Glucocorticoids.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Glucocorticoids: These are a class of corticosteroids, which are steroid hormones. They are known for their potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Glucocorticoids are commonly used in medicine to treat conditions involving inflammation, such as asthma, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.

  2. Mineralocorticoids: These are another class of corticosteroids, but they primarily regulate electrolyte and water balance in the body. They do not have significant anti-inflammatory effects. The most well-known mineralocorticoid is aldosterone.

  3. Androgens: These are male sex hormones, such as testosterone, that are responsible for the development of male characteristics. They do not have anti-inflammatory properties.

  4. Estrogens: These are female sex hormones that play a crucial role in the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. They are not primarily known for anti-inflammatory effects.

In summary, glucocorticoids are the correct answer as they are specifically known for their anti-inflammatory action.
