When blood sugar levels are low the pancreas will secrete glucagon which will stimulate the liver to breakdown glycogen (our reserve sugar supply) and stimulate gluconeogenesis which is converting fats and proteins into glucose (blood sugar).

What hormones are responsible for lowering blood glucose levels in the body?

Insulin is the hormone responsible for lowering blood glucose levels in the body.


What pancreatic hormones maintained blood glucose levels?

Insulin and glucagon are the two pancreatic hormones that work together to maintain blood glucose levels. Insulin helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells, while glucagon helps raise blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of stored glucose from the liver.


Which of the following hormones is released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?

That is hormone glucogon. It is secreted by pancrease


What hormone is involved in blood glucose regulation?

There are two hormones that regulate blood glucose levels. One is insulin. This horemone "carries" glucose into the cell. No glucose and the cell starves and the glucose levels get higher in the blood. The second hormone takes glucose out of liver storage and increases the glucose in the blood. These two are a feedback mechanism that keeps the levels in a normal range.


What is the main function of the islet cells in the pancreas?

The islet cells or islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are responsible for producing the pancreatic hormones which are glucagon and insulin. Insulin is released when blood glucose levels are too high and glucagon is released when blood glucose levels are too low.


How the hormones glucagon and insulin work together to control blood-glucose levels?

The pancreas has specialized cells that make two different hormones, insulin and glucagon. These two hormones control the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin lowers blood-glucose levels by telling the liver to convert glucose into glycose and to store glycogen for the future. Glucagon has the opposite effect. It tells the liver to convert glycogen into glucose and to release the glucose into the blood.


Are insulin and glucagon antagonistic hormones?

Yes insulin and glucagon are antagonistic hormones, as they antagonize, or incite a reaction, the liver into transforming glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar levels are high (insulin), and transforming glycogen into glucose when the blood sugar levels are low (glucagon).


What is the gland called that regulates blood-glucose level?

The gland that regulates blood glucose levels is the pancreas. It releases hormones such as insulin and glucagon to help control blood sugar levels in the body.
