What hormones are produced when the body’s blood glucose levels drop below normal? How do these hormones act to return the level to normal? What hormone is produced when the body’s blood glucose levels become elevated? How does this hormone act to return the level to normal?

Solution:

Hormone released when blood glucose levels drop below normal is Glucagon. It acts by converting glycogen into glucose in liver. The glucose is released into blood and raises blood glucose level.
Hormone released when blood glucose level gets elevated is Insulin. It acts by converting glucose into glycogen in liver and thus reduces level of glucose.
