Why is glucagon called anti insulin hormonewhy does it have this name?
It keeps your insulin that is in your body from causing your bood sugar to get any lower. Then it begins to raise your blood sugar. This isn't a very good technique though which is why it is only to be used if you are unconcious.
What are the antagonistic hormone?
The antagonistic hormones are pairs of hormones that have opposite effects on the body. Examples include insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels, and aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide, which control salt and water balance in the body.
Insulin and glucagon are examples of what type of substances?
Insulin and glucagon are hormones produced in the pancreas that regulate blood glucose levels. Insulin helps lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by cells, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver.
What 2 sets of hormones have opposing actions?
Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones, secreted by pancreas and oppose the action of one another.
What regulates shugar levels?
Insulin and glucagon.
What hormone opposes the effect of glucagon?
insulin
Insulin is secreted in starvation and results in the production and mobilization of glucose from peripheral tissues?
No, another hormone called glucagon does that (although both insulin and glucagon are secreted by the pancreas). Insulin has the opposite effect - when there is excess sugar in the blood it causes glucose to move into body cells and to also be stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle.

What is insulin and glucagon?
They are hormones with opposite functions.Insulin decrease blood glucose level,glucogon viseversa.

The antagonistic hormones are pairs of hormones that have opposite effects on the body. Examples include insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels, and aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide, which control salt and water balance in the body.
What is glucogon?
Glucagon is a hormone, secreted by the Islets of Langerhans by Alpha Cell in Pancreas, that raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels

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.
Which two hormones exerts opposite effects?
Insulin and glucagon. Insulin stores simple sugars in the form of a polymer (glycogen) in the liver and glucagon breaks down glycogen in the liver forming glucose and releases it back into the bloodstream. ChaCha!
What is the antidote for insulin?
glucagon
Insulin works as an antagonist to?
glucagon
Where are glucagon and insulin produced?
brain
