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 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 antagonistic hormone pairs regulate the homeostatis of blood glucose?
Insulin and Glucagon
What is a antagonistic effect?
its what happens when a drug decreases the effect of another drug
What hormone is secreted by the pancreas?
Several hormones are secreted by the pancreas. They include insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic peptide.
What produces the hormones insulin and glucagon?
The pancreas produces enzymes and insulin.
What does the pancreas release?
The pancreas is endocrine (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin). The most important is insulin which controls the take-up of glucose by the body's cells.
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 is An example of antagonistic hormones controlling homeostasis?
glycogen and insulin
What is the concentration of glucose in the blood is primarily regulated by what?
The primary regulators of blood glucose are the hormones glucagon and insulin. Glucagon raises it and insulin lowers it.
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 blood glucose lowering hormone is produced by the pancreatic islet cells?
The pancreas produces a variety of hormones, two being insulin and glucagon, these hormones are produced by groups of cells called the islets of langerhans.
What hormones inhibit insulin?
Glucagon, adrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone.
