Insulin (Action)
*Beta Cells |
Lowers blood glucose by:
-Increasing glycogen synthesis (glycogensis) in liver and skeletal muscles -Increasing uptake of glucose by cells -Increasing rate of ATP synthesis -Increases protein synthesis -Increases fat synthesis |

Glucagon (Action)
*Alpha Cells |
Increases blood glucose by:
-Increasing catabolism of glycogen (glycogenolysis) in liver and skeletal muscles -Formation of glucose from amino acids in liver (gluconeogensis) -Release of glucose into blood -Increases fat catabolism |
