6 Questions
In the normal state, circulating glucagon concentrations are in the nanomolar range.
False
During fasting with plasma glucose levels around 5 mmol/L, glucagon is secreted in high levels resulting in plasma concentrations above 20 pmol/L.
False
Circulating glucagon levels may decrease 3-4 times below basal levels during hypoglycemia.
False
During hyperglycemia, the levels of glucagon secreted are very high.
False
Blue squares on the graph represent glucose levels during hypoglycemia.
False
Stable blood glucose concentration during exercise is primarily due to increased insulin secretion.
False
Test your knowledge about glucagon concentration in the circulation during the normal state and fasting state. Learn about the role of glucagon in maintaining stable blood glucose concentrations.
