What does glucagen and insulin do to sugar?

Insulin acts as a key, if you will, that opens cells to allow them to absorb glucose in the blood stream so it may be used for cellular respiration. Glucagon (you had a typo I believe) operates when there is not enough glucose present in the blood stream. It is secreted by Alpha cells in the pancreas, and acts on the liver to have it break down glycogen (bunch of glucose molecules strung together) into glucose molecules, which are then secreted I to the blood stream. Insulin and glucagon are called antagonistic hormones, because they have opposite effects that keep the body at an optimal blood glucose level (granted there are no diseases/disorders in the body)

im not sure but see glucocorticoid work with your body temperature it because amune to your resperatory system and they ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What an awful answer! Wow. Here's some info: Glutocorticoids have an affect on the blood sugar levels, from the fact they stimulate glucogenesis in the liver - the conversion of fat and proteins into immediate metabolites, which are ultimately converted into glucose.

What hormone secretes glucagon?

Glucagon is a hormone that works in conjunction with insulin. Both are produced in the pancreas, and are responsible for the storage/conversion of glucose in the body. Glucagon in particular encourages the soluble sugar glycogen to enter the blood, and also causes the conversion of glycogen to glucose.
