Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is responsible for the conversion of glycogen into glucose when serum glucose levels fall. Insulin, on the other hand, promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen, and decreases blood glucose levels. Norepinephrine, cortisol and somatostatin are not directly involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism.
