Question

Briefly explain the hormonal regulation of blood glucose level.

Answer 1

Hormonal regulation of blood glucose:

1. The pancreas secretes glucagon, a peptide hormone that elevates blood glucose levels.
2. Its action is diametrically opposed to that of insulin, which reduces blood glucose levels.
3. Glucagon increases glycolysis, the breakdown of glycogen, and the export of glucose into the circulation once it reaches the liver.
