Question
Chapter 1, Problem 31RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of insulin on the blood glucose level, if insulin hormone is controlled by a negative feedback mechanism. The hormone is released, when there are increased levels glucose in the blood.
Introduction:
Negative feedback is referred as a type of regulation, where the end product of any procedure reduces the stimulus of the procedure. Thus, the body consists of its internal controller mechanisms to maintain the body's pH, temperature, blood sugar, hormones and many other things. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone.
