Question

Which statement would be true if glucagon secretion were permanently inhibited, resulting in negative feedback?

Blood glucose levels would decrease.



Glycogen formation would be inhibited.



Insulin production would decrease.



The synthesis of fat would decrease.

Answer 1

Insulin production would decrease.

Answer 2

Insulin production would decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin and Glucagon work together to balance the sugar levels in the human blood stream. They work together in a negative feedback loop. Glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream in a process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin on the other hand is a sugar-lowering hormone.

Therefore, if glucagon secretion were permanently inhibited, insulin production would decrease as there would not be excess blood sugar to be reduced.
