Which hormone secreted by the pancreas raises the blood glucose level?
- A. Insulin
- B. Glucagon
- C. Thyroxine
- D. Adrenaline
Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) Glucagon
Glucagon from the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, raising the blood sugar. Insulin from the beta cells does the opposite. Adrenaline also raises blood glucose but it is secreted by the adrenal glands, not the pancreas.
