Which hormone is secreted by alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas?
The Alpha cells in the pancreas are found in the islets of Langerhans and they secrete glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that breaks down glycogen (stored in the liver) into glucose. In a normal functioning person this would occur if the glucose levels fall below a certain point (hypoglycemic). Diabetics can go low because this hormone is not released... along with insulin, which comes from the beta cells. Insulin acts as a "key" and allows sugar to go into the cells throughout the body. When insulin is not produced your sugar levels rise and you become hyperglycemic.
What hormones are involved in blood glucose regulation?
Insulin causes the uptake of glucose from your blood into your cells. In a healthy person when blood sugar levels go up, insulin is secreted by the pancreas which causes a decrease in blood sugar. When they fall, your pancreas secrets glucagon, which causes cells to release sugar into the blood stream.
Does insulin go bad?
Hi!! All the insulin vials or cartridges have expiry date printed on them. This date indicates the date before which the unopened vial or cartridge should be used. One the vial or cartridge is opened it should be discarded after one month,even though some insulin remains in it, as the potency of the insulin is lost over a period of time the potency of the insulin is also affected by cold and heat. Hence Insulin should not be frozen or stored in direct sunlight or heated areas. If all the instructions are followed than Insulin does not go bad. Hope i have answered your question...
