Vedclass · Answer

(C) hypoglycemic hormone is one that lowers the blood glucose level in the body.$1$. Insulin is secreted by the $\beta$-cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.$2$. It acts mainly on hepatocytes and adipocytes and enhances cellular glucose uptake and utilization.$3$. As a result,there is a rapid movement of glucose from the blood to hepatocytes and adipocytes,resulting in decreased blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia).$4$.
