Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hormone secreted during the postabsorptive state is glucagon, which causes an increase in the level of blood sugar (glucose) through the process of glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen) and gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources). This helps maintain homeostasis by ensuring a steady supply of energy to the body's cells during periods of fasting or low food intake. Choices A, B, and C are not correct because they do not reflect the actions of glucagon during the postabsorptive state.
