_______ Raises the Blood Glucose Level by Stimulating Liver Cells

Question

_______ raises the blood glucose level by stimulating liver cells to convert glycogen to glucose.
A) Insulin
B) TSH
C) Calcitonin
D) Glucagon

Accepted Answer

Glucagon is responsible for raising blood glucose levels by stimulating liver cells to convert glycogen to glucose. Insulin, on the other hand, does the opposite by promoting the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. TSH and calcitonin are hormones that regulate thyroid function and bone metabolism, respectively, and are not involved in glucose regulation.
