Information
has glosseng: A counterregulatory hormone is a hormone that opposes the action of insulin. They include glucagon, adrenaline Norepinephrine/Epinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone. Counterregulatory hormones—the term is usually used in the plural—raise the level of glucose in the blood by promoting glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, ketosis, and other catabolic processes. In healthy people, counterregulatory hormones constitute a principal defense against hypoglycemia, and levels are expected to rise as the glucose falls. Persistent elevation of a counterregulatory hormone can reduce a person's sensitivity to insulin.
