All of the following are action of cortisol EXCEPT:
Ans. (c) Decrease blood amino acidRef:Berne & Levy's physiology, 5th ed. / 909 and chapter 20: Lange medical physiology by Ganong 23rd ed.* Cortisol raises the free amino acids in the serum. It does this by inhibiting collagen formation, decreasing amino acid uptake by muscle, and inhibiting protein synthesis.* Glucocorticoids promote protein degradation and inhibit entry of amino acids in tissues (Primarily Branch chain amino acids).* Glucocorticoids also lead to utilization of amino acids by promoting gluconeogenesis directly and by permissive effect on Growth hormone.
