Glucose is a potent inhibitor of glucagon secretion
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 11

Questão
Amino acids and free fatty acids in the blood _ secretion
Responda
  • Stimulate
  • Inhibit

Questão 12

Questão
Why does glucagon have no effect on skeletal muscle?
Responda
  • So the muscles don't get depleted of glucose
