Yes insulin and glucagon are antagonistic hormones, as they antagonize, or incite a reaction, the liver into transforming glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar levels are high (insulin), and transforming glycogen into glucose when the blood sugar levels are low (glucagon).

What are the antagonistic hormone?
Antagonistic hormones are the hormones that have opposite effect in the body. For example, insulin and glucagon, para thyroid hormone and calcatonin.
What produces the hormones insulin and glucagon?
The pancreas produces enzymes and insulin.
What kind of hormone is glucagon?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels drop too low. It stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing blood sugar levels. It is a hormone agonist (i.e. binds to a receptor in a cell and triggers a response).Its opposing hormone is insulin, an antagonist which is release when blood sugar levels climb too high.
What 2 sets of hormones have opposing actions?
Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones, secreted by pancreas and oppose the action of one another.
What chemical does the pancreas release?
The pancreatic beta islets produce insulin. Alfa cells produce glucagon. Insulin and glucogon produce a homeostatic method to produce normal blood glucose levels.

What is a antagonistic effect?
its what happens when a drug decreases the effect of another drug
What antagonistic hormone pairs regulate the homeostatis of blood glucose?
Insulin and Glucagon
What produces the hormones insulin and glucagon?
The pancreas produces enzymes and insulin.
What hormone is secreted by the pancreas?
Several hormones are secreted by the pancreas. They include insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic peptide.
What is An example of antagonistic hormones controlling homeostasis?
glycogen and insulin
What are two hormones that regulate blood sugar?
Insulin,secreted by beta cells of islets of langerhansGlucagon,secreted by alpha cells of islets of langerhansInsulin converts blood sugar and stores it in the liver,muscles,etc. Glucagon releases the stored blood sugar when needed. Hence a balance between these 2 hormones is essential.
