Why insulin called as hypoglycemic hormone?

Insulin is referred to as a hypoglycemic hormone because it plays a crucial role in lowering blood glucose levels. It facilitates the uptake of glucose by cells, particularly in muscle and adipose tissue, and promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver. By doing so, insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). This action is essential for maintaining energy balance and overall metabolic health.


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.

What is GRHR hormone?

This accounts for Growth Hormone Regulatory Hormone, also called Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, and also GRHF (for Growth Hormone Regulatory Factor). This is one of the two hypothalamic hormones (or previously named 'factors') that, respectively, stimulate or inhibit the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. The other hormone that inhibits the release of growth factor is called Growth Hormone Releasing-Inhibiting Hormone (or factor).


If NPH is given at 7AM when is hypoglycemic reaction going to happen?

Hypoglycemic reactions can occur within 1-2 hours after taking NPH insulin. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely, especially during this time to prevent and manage hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include sweating, shaking, dizziness, confusion, and hunger.
