Fruits and vegetables contain soluble and insoluble fiber in varying proportions. When you eat soluble fiber, it absorbs water to form a gel-like mass, which helps you feel full and provides other health benefits. It prevents a surge in blood sugar after you eat by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.
If the blood glucose level falls to dangerous levels (as in very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), the Alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a hormone whose effects on liver cells act to increase blood glucose levels.
Unit 3 - Glucagon (H). Glucagon is a hormone which is released from the pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels. When we are starved, blood glucose levels are low so glucagon causes cells in the liver to convert glycogen into glucose.This enters the blood and restores blood glucose levels back to normal again.lucagon is a hormone which is released from the pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels.
