Question

How is the blood glucose level maintained in the body of ​ person when he/she is fasting?

Answer 1

• During fasting, the glucose in blood becomes low.
• In such situations, the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans in pancreas secrete glucagon.
• The glucagon converts the glycogen stored in the liver to glucose and synthesizes glucose from amino acids.
• Such actions help to maintain the blood glucose level to normal.​
