Which pancreatic hormone stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells?

The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.

Cells take in oxygen by simple diffusion and glucose by facilitated diffusion Therefore oxygen uptake and glucose uptake will differ from each other in all respects except what?
the need for ATP ANSWER Facilitated diffusion and diffusion do differ in ATP requirments
What is the sensor and integrator and effector of the blood glucose feedback loop?
The sensor in a negative feedback loop monitors the state of the variable, in this case blood glucose. For blood glucose, the sensor as well as the integrator is the Islets of Langerhans, since it contains the alpha and beta cells. Alpha cells produce glucagon, a hormone that acts on the liver to release more glucose into the blood. Beta cells produce insulin, which controls the uptake of glucose into the cells. The effectors respond to the sensor's messages, and act to maintain a variable. The effectors for blood glucose are the cells which take in glucose, as well as the liver.
Which events occur shortly after eating?
Increase uptake of glucose by skeletal muslces and other body tissue.
Why thyroxin is called as calorigenic hormone?
Thyroxin is a calorigenic hormone because it increases oxygen uptake and metabolism by the tissues and thus accelerates energy production,i.e., increases BMR
What hormones control sugar levels in your body?
Two hormones are released by the pancreas, which both regulate blood sugar levels. The best known is insulin, which encourages glucose to be stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Another hormone - glucagon - is produced to encourage the stored glycogen to convert back into glucose, and to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
Why growth hormone increases blood glucose?
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
What hormone increases glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue?
Insulin
Is insulin on negative feedback?
Yes Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high. It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
Is insulin negative feedback or positive feedback?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high. It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
What important chemical does the pancreas secrete to control carbohydrate and glucose sugar levels in the blood?
It secretes the hormone insulin, which controls the uptake of glucose by cells.
Does liver produces insulin?
No, it is the beta cells of the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin, involved in glucose uptake by cells.
What is the the organ the releases glucose in the bloodstream?
The small intestine adds glucose from the food you eat, into the blood stream. Perhaps you mean insulin which regulates the uptake of glucose. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. The pancreas is the organ in this case.
Hormone that lowers blood sugar?
Hi!! Hormone called Insulin secreted by the beta cells in Pancreas lowers the blood glucose level. Insulin enhances the entry of glucose into the cells. It enhances storage of glucose as glycogen or converts into fatty acids It enhances the synthesis of fatty acids and proteins. thus Insulin lowers the blood glucose levels. Hope I have answered your question.
Which hormone specifically targets cells that produce hormones that affect glucose metabolism?
Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells.
Which endocrine glands secrete a hormone in response to hypocalcemia?
thyroid gland secretes calcitonin which stimulates cell uptake by bones thus decreasing the blood calcium level
Why growth hormone deficiency causes hYpoglycemia?
Growth hormone and insulin are both needed to uptake amino acids into cells. In GH deficiency cells produce more insulin receptors and become more sensitive to insulin. This causes increased uptake of glucose into cells.
Chromium assists in the uptake of what?
Glucose
