GIP Well, Insulin is a hormone that lowers the blood sugar level. Normally, the Hypothalamus (in the brain) sends messages to the Pituitary Gland (also in brain) to release a hormone that tells a gland to release a certain hormone, but that is NOT the case with Insulin (and glucagon). The pancreas can detect blood glucose levels. After eating, when there is a high blood glucose concentration, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps the liever store the glucose as glycogen, which the muscle cells can store and use to build protein. Or the adipose tissue can use glucose to form fat. From these actions, the blood glucose level drops. All in all, no hormone really stimulates the release of Insulin. The pancreas can detect the blood glucose concentration after eating.

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.


This is a mechanism by which organisms maintain homeostasis when the level of one substance influence the level of another substance or the activity of an organ?

The mechanism described is known as feedback regulation, which is a crucial aspect of homeostasis. In this process, the level of one substance, such as a hormone or nutrient, can influence the production or activity of another substance or organ. For example, elevated blood glucose levels stimulate insulin release, which in turn helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting its uptake by cells. This intricate interplay ensures that internal conditions remain stable despite external changes.


An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating the?

An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are high, insulin is released to help cells take up glucose for energy. Conversely, when blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is released to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose into the blood.

What is insulinogenic?

Insulinogenic refers to the ability of a substance to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Foods or substances that are insulinogenic can lead to an increase in insulin levels in the blood, which is important for regulating blood sugar levels in the body.


Does ACTH STIMULATE THE PANCREAS TO SECRETE INSULIN?

No, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) primarily acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate the production and release of cortisol. Insulin secretion is regulated by other hormones such as insulin itself, glucagon, and incretins like GLP-1.


Does caffeine turn into sugar?

No, it does stimulate the release of insulin, which burns available sugars in the body.


What does growth hormone stimulate the release of into the blood?

Growth hormone stimulates the release of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) into the blood.


What does high blood levels of glucose stimulates the release of?

High blood levels of glucose stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells for energy production and storage.
