insulin
Insulin is a peptide hormone released by the pancreas when glucose levels in the blood rise.
no. glucogon, the hormone that stimulates this activity, is released by the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
The main hormone resposible for raising blood sugar is Glucagon. However, in times of stress, other hormones such as Cortisol and adrenaline may also play a role.
The hormone Insulin regulates the body's glucose levels.
pancreas
When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream.
First, understand that a hormone is a type of enzyme. Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones in the pancreas. If you have too much glucose in your blood (i.e. eating a lot of carbohydrates like pasta, bread, fruits, milk, cake, and so on) then the hormone insulin will come out. Insulin decreases blood glucose. If you have to little glucose in your blood (i.e. exercising for a while without eating carbohydrates, not eating for days, etc.) then the hormone glucagon will come out. Glucagon increases the supply of glucose in your blood.
When the bodies glucose level rises.
glucagon ha, 275?
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.
* Insulin - released by pancreas - encourages liver and muscle cells to absorb glucose from the blood; stimulates the conversion of glucose ----> glycogen in liver/muscle cells.
