Question

Insulin and glucagon are important endocrine hormones that regulate the events of the absorptive and postabsorptive states. Classify the statements at left as being related to insulin or glucagon. Insulin Glucagon Secreted by beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans Considered a glucose- control Controls metabolic events that lead to glucose sparing Secretion is stimulated increased plasma glucose by i stimulated by incretins Promotes absorptivee state events Promotes postabsorptive state events Secretion is inhibited sympathetic activity Increases Secretion is stimulated by increased in the iver along with cortisol and growth hormone activity Secreted by alpha cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans Secretion is stimulated by elevated amino acid Stimulates the insertion of Secretion is stimulated GLUT-4 transporters into muscle cell and adipocyte by increased sympathetic activity Secretion is stimulated by circulating plasma epinephrine Secretion is stimulated by hypoglycemia

Explanation / Answer

Insulin

Considered as glucose counterregulatory control

Controls metabolic events that lead to glucose sparing

Secretion is stimulated be incretins

Stimulates the insertion of GLUT-4 transporter into muscle cell and adipocytes membrane.

Secreted by the beta pancreatic cells of islets of langerhans

Promotes absorbtive state events

Secretion is stimulated by plasma glucose levels.

Secretion is stimulated by parasympathetic nervous system.

Secretion is stimulated by increased beta adrenergic sympathetic activity

secretion stimulated by amino acids

Glucagon

Increases gluconeogenesis along with growth hormones

Secreted by alpha cells of langerhans

Secretion is stimulated by circulating plasma epinephrine

Promotes postabsorptive events

Secretion is stimulated by increased alpha adrenergic sympathetic activity

Secretion is stimulated by hypoglycemia
