What else can I help you with?
Is glucagone an enzyme?
No, glucagon is not an enzyme. Glucagon is a hormone.
What directly antagonizes the effect of calcitonin?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) directly antagonizes the effect of calcitonin. Calcitonin and PTH have opposing effects on bone metabolism, with calcitonin working to decrease calcium levels in the blood, while PTH works to increase calcium levels.
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.
True or false Glucagon is a peptide hormone that is produced in the parathyroid gland?
False. Glucagon is a peptide hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas, not in the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid gland is responsible for producing parathyroid hormone (PTH), which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the body.
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 hormone antagonizes parathyroid hormone?
Calcitonin!
Which hormone acts antagonistically to insulin produced by the same endocrine organ?
That is the hormone glucogon. It increases the sugar level
What is chemical formula for glucagon?
The chemical formula for glucagon is C29H41N9O10.
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 hormone is a partner to insulin?
Glucagon
What does the glucagon do as a hormone and where is it produced?
Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver
Is glucagone an enzyme?
No, glucagon is not an enzyme. Glucagon is a hormone.
What is hormone glucagon?
It is a hormone by pancreas.It increase blood glucose level.
What is glucagen?
glucagon is an hormone produced in the pancreas
What hormone acts on the pancreas?
Insulin and Glucagon
What hormones are hyperglycemic?
glucagon growth hormone
What is an example of a non steroid hormone?
Glucagon
