List and explain which two primary hormones are regularly involved in maintaining normal blood glucose levels.
What will be an ideal response?
Insulin is a hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas. Among other processes, insulin increases the synthesis of glycogen in the liver and the movement of glucose from the bloodstream into muscle and adipose cells. Another pancreatic hormone, called glucagon, is secreted in response to a decrease in blood glucose. It prompts the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and promotes gluconeogenesis, resulting in the release of glucose to the bloodstream and the normalization of blood glucose levels.
