Question

Insulin secretion by $\beta$ - Langerhans cells of pancreas is associated with

• A. Hypoglycemic condition
• B. Hyperglycemic condition
• C. Hypertension condition
• D. Diabetic condition

Answer 1

The correct option is B Hyperglycemic condition

Insulin is a hormone that is exclusively produced by pancreatic beta cells. Beta cells are located in the pancreas in clusters known as the islets of Langerhans. Insulin is released from beta cells, in response to changes in blood glucose concentration. Type 2 glucose transporters (GLUT2) mediate the entry of glucose into beta cells.

So, the correct answer is option B.
