Explain how high levels of glucose in the blood after you eat affect insulin levels, glucagon levels, and the fate of glucose in the blood stream
?After you eat, increased blood glucose levels will stimulate the beta cells in the pancreas to increase insulin levels, while simultaneously inhibiting the release of glucagon from the alpha cells of the pancreas, decreasing these levels. The increase in insulin levels will trigger the removal of glucose from the blood stream into liver and muscle cells for storage as glycogen.
