Detailed explanation-1: -Aldosterone impairs glucose uptake in vitro in 3T3 adipocytes and is associated with reduced GLUT4 cell surface localization, and IRS1, P13K, and AKT phosphorylation (81; 82). Aldosterone may also impair insulin sensitivity by impairing normal adipocyte differentiation and function.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid released by the adrenal cortex. It is responsible for maintaining electrolyte balance, body fluid volume, osmotic pressure and blood pressure. It has no role in sugar metabolism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Through its various hormones, particularly glucagon and insulin, the pancreas maintains blood glucose levels within a very narrow range of 4–6 mM. This preservation is accomplished by the opposing and balanced actions of glucagon and insulin, referred to as glucose homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucagon increases blood sugar levels, whereas insulin decreases blood sugar levels.
