Pancreas
Primary hormone responsible for entry of glucose into the cell; decrease glucose level
Insulin

Hyperglycemic agent
Release during stress and fasting states
Glucagon
Plasma glucagon concentration is normally ___
25-50pg/ml
These are secreted by the cells of zona fasciculata and zona reticularis of the adrenal; promote gluconeogenesis and lipolysis
Cortisol and corticosteroids
Release from the chromatin cells of the adrenal medulla; inhibit secretion and promotes glycogenolysis and lipolysis
Cathecholamines
Secreted by anterior pituitary gland
Growth hormone (Somatotophic)
