Insulin
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
First isolated by Banting and Best in 1922Insulin is a polyopeptide containing 2 amino
acid chains linked by di-sulfide linkage

Insulin and growth hormone interactsynergistically to promote growth
Glucagon
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
It is a large polypeptide secreted by -cellsof islet of landerhans
It is called as hyperglycemic hormone
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
It is glycogenolytic, gluconeogenic, lipolyticand ketogenic
It acts via Gs to activate adenylyl cyclase
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
and increase intracellular cAMP
Glucagon
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Glucagon does not cause glycogenolysis inmuscle
It increases gluconeogenesis in liver and
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
elevates metabolic rate
It increases ketone body formation
The calorigenic action of glucagon is not due
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
to hyperglycemia but due to hepatic
deamination of amino acids
