Glucagon and Insulin

Vedclass · Answer

(C) $1$. Glucagon is a peptide hormone secreted by the $\alpha$-cells of the pancreas. It is known as a hyperglycemic hormone because it stimulates glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose) in the liver,thereby increasing blood glucose levels.$2$. Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the $\beta$-cells of the pancreas. It is known as a hypoglycemic hormone because it enhances cellular glucose uptake and utilization,and stimulates glycogenesis (conversion of glucose to glycogen) in hepatocytes and adipocytes,thereby decreasing blood glucose levels.$3$. Therefore,the pair representing hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic hormones is Glucagon and Insulin,respectively.

Column $-I$ (Types of cells)	Column $-II$ (Secretions)
$(A)$ Beta cells	$(p)$ Lysozyme
$(B)$ Mast cells	$(q)$ Histamine
$(C)$ Paneth cells	$(p)$ Lysozyme
$(D)$ Acinar cells	$(s)$ Pancreatic enzymes

Which of the following pairs represents hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic hormones,respectively?
