C
Feedback:
Insulin aids the transport of glucose into cells; it is required for cellular metabolism of foods, especially glucose; and it decreases blood glucose levels. Testosterone stimulates growth and development of male sexual organs, cortisol aids in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and thyroid hormone increases metabolic rate.
