Insulin is secreted by the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans.

Both Type I and Type II diabetes must be treated by regular insulin injections.

Norepinephrine is released from sympathetic nerve terminals, whereas epinephrine is the most abundant secretory product of the adrenal medulla.

Adrenal androgens are

Both ______ and _______ are produced from the same large precursor molecule, pro-opiomelanocortin.

Which hormone is not entirely antagonistic to insulin with respect to nutrients in the blood?

Sympathetic stimulation inhibits the secretion of insulin.

Insulin increases glucose transport into all tissues.

Over 99% of the circulating thyroid hormone is bound to plasma proteins.
