Final answer:
Cell division is NOT a metabolic effect of glucocorticoids.
Step-by-step explanation:
The metabolic effect of glucocorticoids that is NOT associated with their action is cell division.
Glucocorticoids are hormones that stimulate glucose synthesis and gluconeogenesis in the liver, leading to increased blood glucose levels. They also promote protein catabolism in skeletal muscle and increase blood fatty acid levels. However, they do not have any direct effect on cell division or the synthesis of enzymes.
