A decrease in blood sugar levels would trigger the secretion of glucagon. The glucagon would raise the blood sugar levels through release of glucose from the glycogen stored in the liver.

What hormone is secreted when blood glucose is high?
insulin is secreted in response to high blood sugar.
Type of hormone secreting cell that secretes glucagon?
The alpha cells of the pancreas are the source of release glucagon.
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 kind of hormone is glucagon?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels drop too low. It stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing blood sugar levels. It is a hormone agonist (i.e. binds to a receptor in a cell and triggers a response).Its opposing hormone is insulin, an antagonist which is release when blood sugar levels climb too high.
What hormone does the pancreas release in response to high concentration of blood sugar?
That would be the peptide hormone called "Glucagon". (GLOO-kuh-gone)
What is the stimulus for the release of glucagon?
The body releases glucagon in response to low glucose levels in the blood. Glucagon is a hormone that naturally increases those glucose levels so that you do not experience a hypoglycemic episode.
Which hormone facilitates the release of glucose from liver during a fasting state?
Glucagon.
What pancreatic hormone release is stimulated during the post-absorptive state?
glucagon
What hormone increased the amount of glucose in the bloodstream?
Amylin
What hormone secretes glucagon?
Glucagon is a hormone, I guess you meant "What gland secretes glucagon"The gland that secretes glucagon is PancreaThis hormone is absorbed by the body and turned into sugar to increase glucose in the blood. A blood glucose level below 80 is considered hypoglycemic and is very dangerous for diabetics, therefore must be treated with glucagon or glucagen.
What triggers the release of secretin from the small intestine?
Secretin is a hormone released by the small intestine. Like insulin, the presence of food in the stomach triggers it to release secretin which in turn triggers the pancreas and liver to release bile and pancreatic juice for food breakdown and absorption.
What endocrine glans release glucagon?
Pancrease produces the hormone.It is also an exocrine gland.
