Chapter 21.5, Problem 21.3.3QC
Summary Introduction

To write:

Whether the mentioned processes such as gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and others are promoted by insulin or by glucagon.

Introduction:

Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of Islet of Langerhans of the pancreas which is a peptide chain. This is responsible for the absorption process and helps in production of energy-storing molecules or glucose.

Glucagon, on the other hand, is secreted by the Alpha cells of Islet of Langerhans of the pancreas which is also a peptide chain. This is most active after the absorption process and helps in the breakdown of glycogen whenever there is a need for extra energy or glucose in the body.
