What kind of hormone is glucagon?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels drop too low. It stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing blood sugar levels. It is a hormone agonist (i.e. binds to a receptor in a cell and triggers a response).Its opposing hormone is insulin, an antagonist which is release when blood sugar levels climb too high.
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.
Is antidiuretic hormone a protein?
Yes, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a peptide hormone composed of nine amino acids. It is produced in the hypothalamus and released from the pituitary gland to regulate water balance in the body by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.
An intestinal hormone that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreatic islet cells is?
The intestinal hormone that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreatic islet cells is called incretin, with the two main forms being glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones are released in response to food intake and play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release.
What is the mature form of insulin?
Insulin like many other peptide hormones is synthesized in the body as a pro-hormone that is then cleaved to become the more active hormone. Therefore the mature form could be said to the cleaved active horomone and not the 'juvenile' pro-hormone (actually used clinically as pro-insulin). However, in humans, the insulin of adults is the same as that of children.
Glucagon is a peptide hormone that is produced in the parathyroid gland?
false-pancreas
What hormone does the pancreas release in response to high concentration of blood sugar?
That would be the peptide hormone called "Glucagon". (GLOO-kuh-gone)

What cells release parathyroid hormone?
decreased secretion of ANP (atrial naturetic peptide)
What hormone is secreted by the pancreas?
Several hormones are secreted by the pancreas. They include insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic peptide.
Where is the hormone arterial natriuretic peptide produced?
in the heart
What kind of hormone is FSH Is it a peptide hormone a steriod hormone or a thyroxine hormone?
peptide hormone
What 2 hormones are involved in regulating the blood calcium level?
Parathyroid hormone provides a powerful mechanism for controlling extracellular calcium and phosphate concentrations by regulating intestinal reabsorption, renal secretion, and exchange between the extracellular fluid and bone of these ions. Also, Calcitonin, which is a peptide hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, tends to decrease plasma calcium concentration and usually has effects that are opposite to those of the parathyroid hormone.
Is melatonin a peptide hormone?
no it is an amino acid hormone
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.
What type of chemical is ADH?
You think probable to alcohol dehydrogenase, an important enzyme
Which hormone is not steroid hormone?
Prolactin. There are several hormones.Growth hormone,insulin are peptide hormones
