Glucagon
INSULIN causes glucose to be removed from the blood stream by having it stored in the form of Glycogen in muscle and liver cells
GLUCAGON causes glycogen to be broken down from liver and muscle tissue and releases glucose into the blood stream, thus increasing circulating blood glucose levels. The hormone, released by the pancreas, is insulin.

What hormone reduces blood glucose levels and what hormone raises blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
The hepatic portal circulation serves the body by?
It serves the body in three ways. •Removes excess glucose and stores it in the liver as glycogen. •Detoxifys blood. •Removes various poisonous substances present in blood.
Which hormone does not raise blood glucose concentration?
growrh hormone
What is hormone glucagon?
It is a hormone by pancreas.It increase blood glucose level.
Which hormone an increase in blood glucose?
Amylin
When blood glucose levels rise your pancreas releases a hormone called?
Insulin is a peptide hormone released by the pancreas when glucose levels in the blood rise.
How does the hormone regulates blood glucose levels?
The hormone that regulates blood glucose levels is insulin plus a second hormone, glucagon. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels and glucagon increases blood glucose levels. Insulin actually carries the glucose molecule across the cell membrane. That is how it actually lowers the glucose molecules in the blood. Glucagon causes the liver, which stores glycogen, to convert it to glucose which is released in the blood. These two hormones form a feedback mechanism which keeps glucose stable.
What hormone causes liver cells to release glucose?
The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.
What does glucose produce?
Glucose is a kind of sugar that your body needs and categorizes as "food". Glucose is what makes up your blood sugar level. If your blood sugar is too low, your pancreas detects this and releases the hormone insulin. This hormone travels aroudnt the body to get to the liver. The liver detects the insulin and takes glucose out of your blood and stores it as glycogen. Glycogen is essentially glucose in strings which the Liver stores for later use when the body is in need of glucose. This happens when the body detects the presence of Glycogon. Whenever your blood has too low sugar levels the pancreas releases a hormone called glycogon which then travels to the target organ, the Liver. The Liver, then detects the presence of the hormone glycogon, and uses up its reserves (glucose). The glucose is now sent out into your bloodstream which stabilises your sugar levels.

How does the blood control the blood sugar?
When the blood sugar is very high in the body, the pancreas makes a hormone called 'insulin' this hormone tells the liver to take the excess glucose out of the blood. The glucose is stored as glycogen, a type of sugar, in the liver. The glucose in the blood falls to its correct level. Also when we excercise, the muscles in our body use up a lot of glucose. If blood glucose falls, the pancrease makes another hormone 'glucagon'. This tells the liver to convert some glycogen into glucose and put it back into the blood. Glucose in the blood rises to its correct level.
What pancreatic hormone stimulates elevated blood glucose levels?
The hormone Insulin regulates the body's glucose levels.
Why growth hormone increases blood glucose?
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
