Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ghrelin is a hormone produced in the stomach and small intestines that stimulates the secretion of growth hormone and increases appetite. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels, but does not increase appetite. Glycerol is a component of triglycerides and not a hormone. Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue that suppresses appetite and increases metabolism, and therefore does not increase appetite.
