Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that causes release of stored glucose (glycogen) from the liver into the bloodstream, causing a rise in blood sugar levels. Insulin, on the other hand, decreases blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells and storage of excess glucose as glycogen. Calcitonin and oxytocin do not have a direct effect on blood sugar levels.
