Question
Chapter 19, Problem 8bCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The regulation of fat synthesis in adipose cells by insulin.
2. The regulation of fat
Introduction:
The pancreas secretes two hormones, namely insulin and glucagon. The plasma concentration of glucose regulates the secretion of insulin and glucagon. These concentration changes during different periods of absorption as well as fasting. They help to maintain a state of homeostasis of plasma glucose concentration.
