When body releases Glycagon, It increases the blood sugar/glucose levels.(Option B)
The Alpha cells of the Pancreas secretes the hormone named Glucagon. It increases the blood sugar levels. If levels of blood glucose gets low, then α-cells secretes low glucagon. This can be treated with exercise and a protein diet which stimulates the secretion of glucagon.
- This hormones fits into receptor sites on cells membranes and activates the enzyme inside the cell which convert glucagon to glucose.
- The glucose then passes out of the cells and into the blood, raising blood sugar levels.
✒ Other than this hormone, the beta cells secretes the insulin hormone and delta cells secrete the growth inhibiting hormone (GHIH-somatostatin).
