Which are hyperglycemic hormones?

Answer 1

Hyperglycemic

1. Hyperglycemia, often known as high blood sugar, is a condition in which the blood contains an excessive quantity of glucose.
2. The hyperglycemic hormone, also known as glucagon, is produced by the alpha cells of the Langerhans islets and increases glucose release into the bloodstream.
3. Insulin is inhibited by glucagon.
4. As a result, glucagon is classified as a hyperglycemic hormone.
5. Hypoglycemia, often known as low blood sugar, is a condition in which blood sugar levels fall below normal.
6. Insulin is the primary cause of hypoglycemia.
