Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is released by the pancreas when blood glucose levels fall, to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose, thereby increasing blood glucose levels. Insulin, in contrast, is released when blood glucose levels are high. Luteinizing hormone, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin are involved in reproductive functions and calcium metabolism, respectively, and are not directly involved in the regulation of blood glucose levels.
