Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream. This leads to an increase in blood glucose concentration. Insulin, on the other hand, lowers blood glucose concentration by promoting the uptake and storage of glucose by cells. Melatonin and calcitonin are not involved in blood glucose regulation.
