Question

List the three principal hormones that regulate glucose metabolism. Explain the effects these molecules have on carbohydrate metabolism

Answer 1

The three hormones are insulin, glucagon, and GIP and GLP-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the ingestion of carbohydrates, insulin increases in the blood generating peaks in blood glucose, therefore the hormone that will increase is insulin to lower blood glucose, promoting the entry of this monosaccharide into the cells.

Different from the moments when the person enters into physical activity, and blood glucose is low, therefore glucagon is activated and seeks to remove the energy reserves from the interior of the cell.
