Solution:

Cortisol is the most important glucocorticoid that is mainly involved in carbohydrate metabolism. GCs stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis. These inhibit cellular uptake and utilization of amino acids. Cortisol also helps in maintaining the cardiovascular system and the kidney functions.
