Best Answer

Insulin is released by the pancreas and enters the blood, delivering glucose into cells for use (therefore lowering your blood glucose level). In some cases, like in a person with Diabetes, glucagon is released and lowers blood glucose levels.

The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.


How does the hormone regulates blood glucose levels?

The hormone that regulates blood glucose levels is insulin plus a second hormone, glucagon. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels and glucagon increases blood glucose levels. Insulin actually carries the glucose molecule across the cell membrane. That is how it actually lowers the glucose molecules in the blood. Glucagon causes the liver, which stores glycogen, to convert it to glucose which is released in the blood. These two hormones form a feedback mechanism which keeps glucose stable.

What hormones are involved in blood glucose regulation?

Insulin causes the uptake of glucose from your blood into your cells. In a healthy person when blood sugar levels go up, insulin is secreted by the pancreas which causes a decrease in blood sugar. When they fall, your pancreas secrets glucagon, which causes cells to release sugar into the blood stream.
