The human body contains many different hormones and their levels are highly regulated. choose one human hormone and discuss how an abnormally increased level and an abnormally decreased level of that particular hormone might affect the body.

Insulin is a hormone secreted by the Beta Cells in the Pancreas. Insulin responds to abnormally high blood glucose levels in your bloodstream. Think of insulin as the key that unlocks the cell for glucose to enter the cell. Our bodies enery is derived from the glucose in our body's cells. Abnormally increased levels of insulin. result in your blood glucose level dropping to a dangerously low level, a state called hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemiais a glucose reading of 70mg/dL. When blood glucose levels are to low the hormone glucagon. gets stimulated in the liver and converts the glucagon to glycogen(stored in the liver) to glucose which can be released into the bloodstream. This process is called glycogenolysis
